I agree that would be absurd. I would never do that either. I do know that I will just ask a coach to "ask when the shot goes" and put the responsibility on them. I have never, ever had a single problem by asking that. So either way it goes, no one is going to completely agree on this. My telling them to ask at the appropriate time is not a big deal as many of you have made it out to be. In most cases the conversation is a one on one conversation and no one hears the conversation in the first place. I hate to say this, but if you have a certain presence about yourself, you will be amazed what coaches and players will go along with.
