The coach (defense) argued that the ball could not have been caught with reasonable effort because neither second base nor shortstop even attempted to make the catch.
BU made the call correctly(mechanically, meaning while the ball was in flight).
Since the call did affect the runners, I agree that there is no need to even ask for the PU to rule on that. If you want to disuss it privately later for future reference, O.K., but I think you have to tell the coach "no" when he wants PU ruling on it.
