In Fed you don't have to ask. On every other level I will give my point of view when asked. If my partner is being "played" by a coach and "harassed" into asking or repeatedly asking, that is a separate issue that need to be dealt with. I get in a lot less trouble with the check swings if I give 'em what I've got. I also earn some credibility and respect as an official if I don't just "back up my partner" to stay out of doo-doo.
