Overturning your partner (again)

[rmstone]

Thanks guys!!! This really helped...

And no it wasn't a young or rookie umpire, he just ended up in a bad spot, he had the pitcher and secondbaseman all jumbled up at first and just had too many people between him and the play to get a decent angle (little league plays are rarely ever clean ). I did get his attention and we reversed it in this case.

We've never had a signal setup for this, but it sounds like a good idea to use the clenched first or point system. Will definatly set that up.

And who was the big dawg? You tell me... I'm a 20 year old working on my 9th year of umpiring. The FU is a 40+ year old man thats had about 7-8 years umping. Tough call on the big dawg here

So you signal this very discretely and then what? If he sees you signal a pulled foot he can then ask for help and it looks better going down that way?

Thanks again guys, really cleared this up... also I agree with "His High Holiness" on if its a young umpire who won't come to you its still important to probably get this one right.
