Overriding Your Partner??
Disclaimer: I'm not an umpire.
2 man crew. Field umpire ruled that F3 pulled his foot off the base and called the runner safe. Coach complains that it was a bad call. As a result of this complaining, the home plate umpire calls his partner into a private discussion. They then changed the call to an out call (which was the right call from my vantage point).
Is this a proper way to handle this? Or should the home plate ump wait until being asked for help by his partner?
Are there any situations where the non-calling umpire initiates the conversation with his partner?
Thanks
