Of course, it happened to me last night. Runners on second and third, ball hit to a "ranging" F6. Only play at first, short hop throw. I'm PU, and watching the best I can from outside the base line, as I've got F2 and a runner in front of me. I'm waiting for his call as I'm looking toward first. I don't here anything, so I turned to look at him. His "wide-eyed look" turned into a "what do you have?"
Of course, that brought all the heat on me.
I'm all for "make the call and let the coaches ask." In this case, I would have also accepted: "She is out if she held the base, partner, did she hold the base." That is making a call, and then asking for more info on his own (accepted by the NCAA manual). But he did neither, and brought his (and his crew/partner's) credibility down. We had a long post game about it (as he wants to start moving up).
