How would you handle?

Steve - are you saying that this would look better:

BU: I have an appeal on the runner leaving early - Partner, that's your call!

PU: No it's not...by the manual, it's your call.

One of two things happens now

1) BU guesses at the appeal call since he had his back to the catch
2) BU and PU continue to argue about who the call belongs to

I don't like either of those options....

I like DaveASA/Fed's answer; tell the partner what you saw, and have him make the call (his call).

I also agree we don't need to argue about that on the field. If he doesn't grasp that it is his call after being told so (and I am thinking you get what I get when we tell a partner he screwed up, so this should be rare), THEN I agree jsut make the call and move on until postgame.
