Aren't you as the PU going to call it?

Yes, and have done so.

Let's assume F1 for the losing team had outstanding control all game long, even though he was on the losing side of the score (there could have been a variety of reasons). When he missed he missed by inches.
Now he Plunks someone. At this point one can assume that the ENTIRE park KNOWS what's going on and yet your partner the PU says NOTHING.
IMO, this crew is now "asking for it" since NO-ONE took control and should a brawl develop IMO the ENTIRE crew now looks bad not just the PU.
Therefore, in what I call a TEXTBOOK Plunk by F1 wouldn't you as BU now say something to avoid what is most likely to transpire next if your partner the PU says nothing.

I'm not poaching his call unless he's an inexperienced Official (whom do not get too many Tournament Games around here). I will visit him and ask about the 'Textbook Plunk by F1' and subsequent observations just to raise awareness.
To be fair to your point, I have had calls poached as BU & PU and with the exception of a brain burp on my part, did not like the feeling. With that brain fart, I was appreciative my partner had been more observant than I and had caught the call.
FWIW
