If that's true, then I take back my assertion that you were penalizing the players for the lackadaisical effort of your "partner".
I said elsewhere that I'd only ask for help in extreme situations (dirt in my eye, broke my leg pivoting, etc). Someone IM'd me, though a plausible scenario where I'd rule safe, but then ask for help if asked, and I agree.
I'm in PERFECT position, but right at the exact moment I'm about to see the play, either a player I didn't see gets right in my line of sight, or runs into me. If I didn't see the out, I'm likely to call safe (especially if the development of the play made me "Feel" like it was going to be safe). It's possible that, due to development of the play, I call out. In either case, I didn't actually see the last split second of the play. If coach asks me to check with partner, and I KNOW that I didn't see everything, I can see myself asking partner for help.
Now ... I'm your partner, this happens, and I ask for help - even telling you why I missed the end of the play.
Do you help?
