Mechanics has the PU looking for a pulled foot.
As Jim stated, it's because he's in the best position to see that part of the play. Evidently those doing the training know instances can develop where the need for that help can and does arise.
Is it an arrogant attitude for one to say that they are always ready as PU to offer that help to others when needed, but that they themselves as BU will never need it while in the field? I certainly find some arrogance in that attitude.
Hmmmm............
Perhaps you are just better than those doing the training ever imagined, or perhaps you'd prefer to risk blowing the call when help from the best angle is readily available to get the call right when in doubt but refuse to seek that help. Of course, if you have never had doubt on a pulled foot then you are certainly above and beyond most whom I know that umpire.
When help is properly obtained before the call is made (as explained by Jim), it shows great crew coordination in covering a difficult play from all angles. When the help is obtained per the mechanic Jim states, I've never seen it criticized, and often seen it complimented as to the crew coordination. It looks great when done right and is well respected in making the best effort to get the call right.
