Your partner the BU is "right there" looking at the same thing as you the PU but gives no call.
We all know any umpire can call interference but in general on play's at the bases we defer to our partner's judgement, however, this is a TEXTBOOK interference call.
Aren't you as the PU going to call it?
I think the answer is yes which brings me back to this OP.

Not me, Pete. I'm not going to eat my partners lunch here. Unless I'm working with a brand spanking new umpire, no way I make this call as a PU. Perhaps his definition of "textbook interference" and mine are different.
