My experience has taught me that two umpires standing next to each other often see things differently.
So who's version of "right" should qulify as "getting it right"?

"Getting it right" is P.C. b.s. that apparently makes some feel better about them selves and superior. The correct call (as opposed to the right call)tends to be irrevelant for those that subscribe to feeling good.

There is a time and place to confir with your partner. The correct time can not be predetermined by political correctness. It depends on each umpires philosophy and ability which is different for each person. By the way, don't forget that the "situation" is also a determining factor.

Do the job to the best of your ability and things tend to go fine. If there is a situation YOU decide to confir with your partner ...... just do it! If YOU decide not to confir with your partner .... do not do it!
