OK folks, he said he knew what he should do ("I should have called time and conferred with my partner ").
The question is "How would you have handled it differently?", once you got into the problem. They went forward because the coaches let it go. Naturally, the defense coach protecting the lead would agree. The technically correct procedure would have been to get the fielders back out and continue as if they had known the correct outs all along. Because the batter struck out, there were no other issues, but there could have been. The teams are expected to know the outs and while we are supposed to know, we don't get the blame if one or both teams get it wrong unless we tell them.
