Should have called Out before the attempted swipe tag.

The OP read like not visible from "C".

This would be discussed in great detail in the post-game debrief.

Agree with these parts.

What is the lesser of two evils here?
- simply eat a bad judgment call

This is where the tough choices are; which gets back to whether the PU tells the BU about the base tag or just answers about the runner swipe.
I can live with being under the bus if we get the call right.

Therefore call the Out and wait for an appeal on a pulled foot.
