We (me, another experienced guy, and "Tie-man" as he will forever now be known) got together, asked him what he saw. He said a tie. Partner said - "the reason you're on this field is to decide what happened first." He said he didn't know. I said, "There is no tie. Did the throw beat the runner - yes or no." He said no - so we told him to signal safe.

Worse - I hear he called another tie during league play, with no partner, the following season. Don't know how that one got resolved.
