Going to one's partner just to appease coaches has almost become an epidemic. There is only one reason to go to your partner (other than on a check swing) - if and only if you are missing a piece of information relative to the call.
If a coach asks you to go to your partner, there must be,in YOUR mind, a piece of the puzzle you don't have. What most coaches don't realize is that most of us will ask for help immediately on a pulled foot or a bobble if we have any doubt.
Stay on top of your game. If a coach wants you to ask your partner something, don't do it just to do it. It's your call, and if you have it tell the coach you have it and let's continue to play ball. Don't put your partner on the spot like that - it just ticks everybody off.
