In the situation cited it's very possible for R3 to be diving back to 3B on the outside of the base where it would be clear to PU that he touched or did not touch a base, or whether a swipe tag to the outside touched the runner. That may not be evident to BU when starting in B position on a pickoff at 3B.
If there is doubt in the BU's mind after his call that he may have blown it (he wasn't sure about the original call that belonged to him and that he felt forced to make), I'd not have a problem checking with PU regarding added information. BU should not be checking about issues dealing with the timing of tag itself---only whether the tag actually touched the runner, etc.........
There are flaws in the two-man system, and frequently your partner has superior angles depending on how the play develops.
Just my opinion,
