Also, the PU should call the infield fly, but the BU can help by sticking up his arm and pointing up! ...and you should try to call the IF at it's apex, not when it is on the way down! If it's a few feet from hitting the ground--forget it!

Nope, you never forget the Infield Fly. The only judgment is the ability of the player to catch the ball with ordinary effort, not whether to call it.
This is a correctable call.
