Check swing, to help or not to help...

Our association allows us to stay in B for RHB and C for LHB for a better check swing angle. That said, it is my belief that (please correct me if I have it wrong) as PU, if you call "Yes he went", there is no help. IF you call it a strike as PU, it's a done deal (9.02 c ?). I have had coaches/catchers try to go for help for a check I called "he went - strike", I just tell them the call has been made (never had a coach go nuts over it).
