I'm going to shock the socks off've some people here and AGREE, again wholeheartedly, with Dave Hensley's summary of the available mechanics in this situation.
St Louis Blue and I follow the 2nd option as a matter of course, primarily because we both regularly work with partners who are equally familiar with the mechanic.
I once followed the second method with an unfamiliar partner and was surprised to get the response "
What do you want to know for?" At that point I had a (private) conference with my PU partner to explain that I was blocked on the tag play, etc. He was most surprised that I could ask his help. I said sure I could, as long as I hadn't made the call first and been influenced to ask by a coach.
It is unacceptable to go for help on a pulled foot situation AFTER you have made a call and AFTER you have had a conference with either coach. The point is there should be no need to wait that long if you have any doubt, just like on a checked swing attempt.
Hope this helps
Cheers
