yep, the "off the bag" call should only be made if BU actually saw daylight between foot and bag.
I'm at the 3B end of a 3B-HP rundown. As runner dives back to 3B, fielder dives too. I'm at 90 degrees to the play, & clearly see 2" of daylight between glove and foot. DC (in 1B dugout, so at 3B line extended), absolutely sure of the tag, begs me to check with my partner (at the HP end of the rundown). Sure I'll ask, coach, but he'll never convince me I didn't see space... |

Yet another example of the benefit of just asking in the first place. Get the call right to begin with and you can likely eliminate all of this nonsense and waste of time.

Lets say F3 did come off the bag, then came back down on it before B/R arrived at 1st base but BU did not see that !. As a base ump if I want help from PU, I would certainly like to know my PU was paying attention & willing to help. (If I ask for it).

What's broken is the mechanic. Consider what happened that lead to this thread. There's something broken here alright...
