JR,
You are sinking deeper and deeper with each post on this subject. Regardless of the level, if the manager asks you to get help on a check/half swing that you, the PU, rule "ball, he didn't go" - you MUST ask your partner by RULE. That goes for FED, NCAA & OBR and whatever other baseball rules there may be. And yes, if you don't, the manager can PROTEST the game.
Now that we've cleared that up, I understand your point about coaches asking you to get help "every time the ball bounces funny". Especially at the younger levels, inexperienced coaches try to do this often. However, as you move up, things will change a bit and you'll deal with some managers that only come out for "legitimate" reasons. Sometimes, that can be a wake up call that perhaps you may have missed something. Use your best judgement and communicate with managers in the most professional manner when explaining why you will or will not get help from a partner. Just my opinion
