I also encourage the BU to offer all the input possible as seeing the ball coming from the plate area is just as if not more important than seeing the ball coming to the plate. If I'm working alone, I may take a minute to go into the outfield to see what the OF can, or cannot, see.
But no matter what you do, don't try and be the nice guy a force the game to get done or legal, it may come back to bite you in the ass.

Agree, especially with the last sentence, although I don't care what part of me it would bite.
