If they called her out, then they saw something that led them to believe she was out and shouldn't go to their partner for help. Dave
Depends on the game. Your statement is incorrect in ASA.

I agree, the umpire should see something to call the runner out before making that call. However, maybe the BU did see something that from his perspective that looked like a good tag. Remember, the BU's view is two dimensional, at best.
