jicecone,

I agree...neither have I...and I think I made clear what I would do if that happened to me. However, if I was working with this particular base umpire and he and I had a pre-game conference, when he told me "I'll point to you when I need help at a call at first", I would have said, "no you won't"...and we would have worked it out then, instead of on the field during the game.
I'm with you.
