The team didn't lose a chance at an out because of anything the BU did by calling time. They lost their chance at an out because they were ignorant of the rules and did not properly appeal. It's not either umpire's responsibility to hold a team's hand through the appeal process. The BU can call time whenever he feels it necessary, and this should not in any way negatively affect a proper appeal.
