If this ball had been called foul initially, and help was requested, probably not going to go for help to change this to a fair ball.
Why not? If you are willing to correct it one way, why not the other? If the PU kicked it, s/he kicked it. And if it was that obvious that the BU could see it from 65'-70' away, I believe it would be a disservice to the teams and the game to ignore it.
