There are really two ways to look at this sitch, and I think, from reading, that this lies at the heart of why there are two completely different opinions here.
One is that PU simply blew the call, thinking the ball was caught, and call the out. This is not how I read it, but I can see reading it that way. This IS like fair ball called foul - and I agree with the interp that the umpire just has to eat this out and take whatever crap from the coach is appropriate.
The other - which is the way I read it ... is that the PU saw the non-catch and RULED incorrectly. If this is a RULES mistake, then A) yes, it is protestable and B) it is FIXABLE on the field (in fact, it MUST be fixed).
Without actually asking PU, I don't think the two views can be reconciled, and depending on the answer, BOTH are right.
