Lesser of Two Evils

[tcannizzo]

I think this question deserves its own thread.

Re: U-Make-The-Call

Sitch: PU overturns BU's call. BU should:
a.) just stand there and continue with the game.
b.) leave the field of play
c.) other (explain)

Seems to me that "b" is the lesser of two evils.
By going with "a":
1. Silence constitutes acceptance. Is this the message that BU should send?
2. BU's credibility and authority have been stripped openly and publicly.
3. It establishes a precedent that would permit ANY umpire to overturn ANY OTHER umpire's call at least for the rest of that game, and into the future
4. The integrity of the game has been compromised. Do you stand there in the face of this breach or make a statement.

I choose not to offer some of my thoughts on "c" as they are all with the benefit of 20-20 hindsight. This was in the heat of the moment of an unbelievably bizarre situation.

IMHO, BU was in a "dammed if you do and dammed if you don't".

U1 didn't do the right thing, but what would the best course of action in case this happens in a future event to one of you?
