I definitely thought that passing 2 was a LA to correcting to 3. I was thinking that without UI I'd probably bid 3, but I might well pass 2, and that with the UI 3 is certainly suggested over 2. I didn't even think about the pass of 3 as being an issue until reading the other posts.

The nail has been hit on the head for me.

Passing 2 IS a logical alternative and quite likely given the absence of the spade suit. Especially at MP's

Since East has not yet called over 2H, the director has a duty to explain to West that he may change his call if it was based on the incorrect explanation. Since E/W made no further bids, this may not seem important, but East is entitled to know that West would still pass a natural 2D bid, before he has to consider his action over North's 2H bid. No doubt this is why the director is to be called.

It wouldn't occur to me to pass 2H, I would always give preference back to clubs because I would expect at least a 4=6.

It's a bit of a side issue, because as it happens 2H will play incredibly well for NS and will make easily, possibly with overtricks. 3D will not score as well.
