[QUOTE]What would be wrong with overturning your own call instead of asking another umpire to do it?
SLAS: Why would you? You call what "you" see.
When did he admit he blew it, was it after he saw the replay?
Well, there ain't no replay in BB, not yet anyway.
If he admitted it when coach asked him, then he is a knuckle head for not changing it. What would that sound like:
Coach: ah, can you get some help there, he held the bag.
Ump: Ah, I know coach, your right, but since I already called it, I can't change it now. I don't think so.
It sounded like the sit. was R1 only, so where was his help, was PU to busy to not see the foot on or off the bag?

Admirable as it was to admit blowing a call, would it have been better to just reverse the call?

Admirable? I suppose, but once it's on the big screens across the world, it makes it a whole lot easier to admit.
Reverse it, well sure it would, but again, I gotta think he had no other objective evidence for him to consider, he called what "he" saw.
And once he saw the replay, I'm sure he's a changed it then, if he could.
