Coach is "screaming' for me to get help etc.
Now I Know I can basically tell him to "pound salt" but rather than be advisarial I appease the coach and ask you for help.
However, you simply "mirror" my call. If umpire associations in the "beginning" stuck togther and it became known that for all practical purposes the call stands, eventually coaches would get the message and stop asking us to get help.
Is it a good idea or not?
Thanks

Why is telling him to pound sand adversarial yet him coming to you and trying to get you to shop your call NOT adversarial?
I told a coach a few weeks ago in a regional HS final on this VERY situation (pulled foot situation, I'm in A): One call, one umpire. He didn't like it. Tough noogies. He didn't ask again.
