Maybe the coach knows whose call it is, maybe not. If I'm BU and my partner comes to me for a routine appeal of a tag-up at 3B, I'm going to call time and confer with him. I'm going to keep the coach away, and I'm going to tell him that it's his call and he needs to make it.
If the coach wants to whine that my partner missed something, maybe he has a point - but I'm neither going to show up my partner, make his call for him, nor deal with the coach for my partner's missed call.
And all this will take 45 seconds, so holding up the game is not a significant issue here.
