blown call and what would you do

[ronald]

can i assume, cecil, that you understand no interference was called?

Is there any reason in Fed that 3U can't call it? If not, make the call!

I've always been told that obstruction and interference can be (and should be) called by any umpire who sees it.

Also - any umpire is expected to correct an incorrect rule interpretation. If no call was made, I'd get together with my partners and ask what PU saw - perhaps he DIDN'T see the batter back up!

In any case, if PU insists he's right - you don't want to get into an argument on the field. If no one protests, I guess you move on, and discuss it afterward.

Was there no protest? At this level I would have expected one.

Yes, I assumed it was not because you did not mention it in the OP.
My intent was to bring it into a PU/BU conversation as a reminder. Probably not a good idea to say what I suggested as it questions judgement. BUt some way of initiating talk is needed, adn I was going for an indirect face saver.
