I would like to comment on this. I only read the first two pages so if this was already brought up, I apologize.
In the situation regarding getting help on the pulled foot or swipe tag.
Example: Any situation, BU does not make a call and looks to the PU for help. While coming down the line the PU has a brain fart or bug in his eye. You look at him and he looks at you with that deer in the headlights look. You then as the BU makes the call, or his response is delayed. You are not going to sell that call to anyone. It would seem like a guess.
From my experiences, it has always worked best(for me)as the BU to make the call. Be strong, call what you saw, and sell it. If after the fact you decide there may be a possibility that you missed it, go to your P for help and get the call right.
Some may not agree, but my p's and I have used signals in the past as to whether or not they saw the same thing. If they agreed, they would put hand over fist or touch the brim of their hat. If they didn't have the same thing, they would turn quickly and go back to business. To me, that extra information would let me know what I needed to do next. If I missed it, I would go to my p and get the call right even if not asked to get help. If we agreed and I was asked to get help, I would do so as a courtesy in most cases.
I don't have a big ego when it comes to getting help. I am human and make mistakes. But when and if I blow it, I would like to think I was in the best possible position to make the right call and will sell it big as sh!t.
Just my thoughts. Now for yours.
