Or is this still a bad idea no matter how you slice it?

I'm sure opinions will vary, but I've been told to do the same thing. Give the official time to get the call (he/she may be coming with a patient whistle) if they don't blow & you're 100% then come in strong "hold backside". It works for me & it shows that you aren't attempting to step on your partners toes. There are some talented officials out there, but I dont think any has mastered the art of seeing thru people to get fouls from behind. IMO, that's being a good partner.
