While I generally agree with Steve and Steve as to when or when not to check with my partner, I will say that there have been times when I have gone to my partner at a coach's request even though I had no intention of changing my call and was absolutely sure of the call I had made. In these situations, I felt that "checking" with my partner was valuable as a game management tool.

It may have prevented a coach from escalating a situation further or it may have kept a game that was going smoothly up to that point remain smooth. Can't say exactly when to use this, it's more of a "feel" depending on the circumstances.

Gemini - These are my thoughts, but if your boss told you that you needed to check with your partner each time requested, you should do that or work for someone else.
