Offense coach asks calling umpire if s/he would check with partner.
Do you always check w/ partner? Never? What do you tell the coach?

I will let the coach know that I saw everything I needed to see to make a call, and I don't need any help from my partner.
As a side, I get irritated when a partner makes a call, then comes to me after a coach talks to him/her, and he/she tells me, "I'm damn sure I blew that one, so I'm going to change my call." Why the hell come to me then? You're going to give everyone the impression that you're changing the call because of what I saw. And if it was that obvious and you eat the call, then I catch hell for missing it just as badly as you did! Own it when you make it and don't come my way.
