I wouldn't let this one go. No way. I'd go to my partner and we'd talk.

My thought exactly. In my experience, the umpire that kills the ball makes the awards. Plus, as PU and UIC, I'm overriding my BU if he makes an incorrect award.

Same here, I've always made all of the awards when I've killed the play.

That's not a duty of a PU/game UIC. You don't get veto power on base awards.

However, IMO, it is your award to make in the first place.
