I had the same exact situation, I was BU. I did not kill the play, and PU came to me for appeasement when questioned by batter and then manager (after getting his batter out of the way).
I told him I had nothing, and was pretty sure of it as well.
When PU came out with nothing, who do you think they now yelled at??? Its easier if they just get pissed at "stubborn PU" he deals, then I move in if necessary to play rodeo clown. As it ended up, I had a player yelling across the field at me, me giving the stop sign, and the PU cleaning up the mess.
They're likely to get ticked either way. Might as well act like we know what we're doing from the start.
