Uh, no - we dont need a football type round table after every bang bang play... the gut call is usually the right call.. or certainly close enough to live with from this guy in blue.
So, I agree with the above, if there is info i maybe couldnt tell and if properly asked by the coach, I'll go for help to see if by partner saw something that might convince me to change my call, other than that - i consider it just venting by a coach, virtually irrelevent, and I'm certainly not going to go for help just because its a close play that could have been seen one way or the other.
