He was in the wrong position to make a judgement call as to witch fielder had the best play on the ball. The question now is not whos call, but should U2 have made the call anyhow?

AS you know, I am one of the foremost exponents of helping your partner. I do not hold with the modern tendency, picked up from professional graduates who didn't get a contract, of: "He gets his calls, and I get mine."
That being said (as the cliché goes), this is a three-man crew with the UIC (properly) in place and U1 (improperly but in place nevertheless) in place and .... Neither makes a call. I don't think U2 has one chance in a hundred of selling his "interference" call. If he does nothinng, of course, he
had made a call, albeit a "no call."
My advice: Leave everything as it is, and chew their rear ends out in the post-game "yelling match."
