Joel,
As to calls being questioned & coaches "requesting" that I ask for help. You're right, I don't get asked that often. Other than on checked swings, it's probably less than 2-3 times a game with some coaches & less than that with most of them. Most of the older catchers know that a plate ump is going to watch the ball all the way into their glove, so asking about a checked swing really isn't a big deal.
