Great advise.

Varsity game last week. I called the runner safe at first. Hard sell, very loud. Jog out to B and low and behold home manager is coming out to see me. He gets up close and says "What did you see". I responded “Batter touched the base before the ball got there". He looks at me for about 3 or 4 seconds and starts walking away. He gets about 15 feet away and turns and says “You want to know what I saw". I said "Nope, not interested". Next time I'll just say no.
