I related a situation that happened to me, as experience. If it helps someone fine, if not they are free to take your advice (which I have not seen yet) or no advise at all.
My advice was to let the umpire who's responsible for the call make the call.

I'm not sure you know where I'm coming from. I called him UIC because you didn't give his name and that would be his title.
And I'd feel the same way if UIC made a call that was the responsibility of the BU. Either way it's wrong for many reasons.

Just two questions
1. When you use this technique is it with or without the permission of your partner?

2. In a similar sitch, would you ever allow your partner to make the call and have to deal with the coach if the call was your responsibility?
