As WMB said: "An accepted part of good umpiring is to discuss a difficult call with your partner when requested by a coach or player".
I will almost always discuss the call with my partner if a coach or player asks. Notice I said "asks" and I will say what I saw first. We need to improve relationships and that is one way to do it. I don't think any of you are egomaniacs, but not asking can make us appear to be.
Of course, if they say something about the "Blankity Blank call", someone else will have to ask.
Now, from a strategy sense, if you think you might need help, that's the same as not guessing a call and should never be an out call.
