You handled it as best you could after the fact. In a 2 person crew a lot of calls are tough and some are even missed. It is great that you had a coach that understood your predicament.

Robert:

While I feel your pain. If I am your BU, I am going to watch the B/R because as sure as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, the first time I don't do my job I am going to have an appeal play and I won't have the information I need to do my job correctly. And if I am the PU and you are my BU and you don't know if the B/R touched 1B, you and I will be having a private conversation.
