I agree, but let's not ignore that your partner messing up can embarass you and make you look bad as well. This is especially true because most coaches/players/specs don't know our responsibilities and mechanics. Also, any call they don't like can be blamed on the crew, not just the malingerer.
Example, call at 3rd blamed on BU who started in B slot, because PU didn't move.
