W,
You did the right thing in not getting involved. Sounds like he was confident in his call if he didnt go to you for your opinion. One thing I have learned in the few years that I have been doing this, is in the pregame with my partner we discuss things like this. If either one of us has anything for the other we just simply take off our hat and without drawing attention to ourselves we let our partner know we have something if he wants it. That way when the coach came out to talk to your BU he could have seen your hat off and maybe decide to talk to you and find out what you had, then he could have made his final decission.
As for the other play, again something like that is a pregame discussion. I have learned that with no one on base, a ground ball in the infield, BU comes in and takes his position to make the call at first. PU trailing the BR and watching for lane violation, pulled foot and/or swipe tag. In that instance being the PU had he come to me with that I would have said to him "No pulled foot, he had the bag" and let the BU figure it out from there.
Hope these tips help, I know I have learned some things from reading these posts. Thank you guys.
