Is there any reason you did not try to make a dead-ball appeal at the end of this conversation and then ask him to ask his partner?
Given that BU did not go out on the fly, I think you've gotten your answer - that this was BU's responsibility. If that's so, the ONLY thing he did right was not ask his partner during a live ball - but he surely could have (and likely would have) if you'd asked - especially after he clearly admitted he didn't see the play.
