I'm the PU. I kill it when the ball goes into dugout and award R1 home. BU awards the B-R 2nd. The award should be 2 bases from time of throw on throw by outfielder, right? BU explains his call to offensive coach by saying that the B-R wasn't "half-way" to 2nd, so he only gets 2nd. BU never looked at me or asked for help on the call.
Is there any way for me to fix this? If I don't, it makes me look bad. If I do, it makes him look bad. This is my 1st year, so I'm still trying to learn.
Thanks in advance!

If BU never came to you, where did you hear his explanation?
If I (personally) heard his explanation, I'd have called him aside right then (interrupting his conversation with coach if necessary), and quietly talked through the rule, and let HIM correct the award.
