I do it all the time!
Coach - "Blue, you need to check with your partner on that".
Me - "Coach, I've got the call. If I needed help, I would have gotten it
before I made the call. Let's get back to the game now!"
I rarely call a conference except on obstruction. That is one call where you may need the input of your PU. He is supposed to be watching the "big picture" in most cases so he can help place runners to the correct bases. Other than that, I'm within 20 feet of the call, why do I want to "huddle" with people that are 50 to 100 feet away?
