Forgive me, Steven, I was thinking in LL terms again. In LL there is no crew chief, and by default the PU is the UIC. But it can be a BU, if designated before the game. It happens all the time in tournament play, as the most senior guy will be the UIC for the game, no matter his position on the field.
Either way, when a protest is lodged, the umpires MUST meet to talk about the ruling. If they can not agree, the UIC for the game makes the ruling.
