That's not an answer. Different decisions were not made by different umpires on the same call. Since the premise of 9.04(c) wasn't met, the rest of it is irrelevant.
West has no authority to overturn or seek to overturn another umpire's call. It's not like this call had two umpires with overlapping jurisdiction. 9.02(c) is on point -- if that umpire decides to seek input from other umpires, it's still his decision whether to overturn his own call.
I'm thinking that's what actually happens, BTW. Schrieber was OK with the reversal and West merely announced it, allowing all the heat to fall on him, which, of course, it did.
