After about 10 seconds or so, the 1B coach, asked if I could go for help on the pulled foot. I did, partner had a pulled foot, ruled runner safe, and all hell broke loose.

The defensive team was still on the field making there way to their huddle outside the dugout. The runner was still standing on 1B.

Is there anything I could have done differently in this sitch to be more fluid ?
You called what you saw, what more could be asked. You went for help when asked because you realized there was an element you believed you could have missed. When you received more information, you made the call correct.

I would not have done anything different.
