When working with multiple partners, as can be the case in tournaments, and multifield complexes, it is extremely important to go over coverages. When I'm behind the plate, I want to know how BU is going to handle the outfield particularly. There are standard mechanics, but not everyone abides by them. An agreement on coverages will help eliminate double calls.
When I'm in the field, I want to know what PU expects from me.
Lead runners (going to third), balks (some like to split the coverage - you take the hands and upper body, I'll take the feet).
When working with the same crew consistantly, this discussion is not always needed.
