Not necessary in NFHS. If the Umpire issues a card, it's a card. College and USAV, yes, the Referee/R1 should know why the card is requested, so as to let the captain know when officially administering the sanction, but in high school, both officials have the ability to administer cards. If you are leery of your partner's judgement in issuing sanctions, a good pre-match discussion should cover that topic in case it becomes an issue.
I ask, respectfully, would you as a Referee consult with your Umpire before issuing a card, so as to make it appear to be a "'crew' decision?"
