First of all, why would you poll coaches? Coaches are going to say and do what is in the best interest of their teams. Hopefully, you know that and will re-think your position about polling coaches. Also, you must be working in front of some simple, down-to-earth coaches. If we tried that in the DC area, the coaches would ask the question I thought we all have heard, "how can he call that when you are right there" or "that's not your call, that is his call."
If working within the system, as you say, is usually the best way to get it right, why are you talking about "just get it right" so much? Working within the system means 3 officials working together in their areas. There are primaries and secondaries but the play is question is neither. I still don't understand why you aren't talking about the C getting in a better position. Well, maybe I know why. I don't think we've talked about that for two pages or so.
