If I'm not sure that a defensive player made the out, then I call 'Safe'. This is based upon the premise (that I was taught) not to guess an out. But, if I made the out call, then I'm going to stick by it and not ask my partner for help. Now, if the coach comes out and I'm 100% sure that the proper call was an out, I may not even honor the coach's "ask for help", it depends on the circumstances. If I do ask for help, and my partner overrules me, that means I really kicked the call. Nine times out of ten, the partner is not going to overrule.
If we're talking after the game and I have a doubt still in my mind, I'll ask him, but of course out of earshot of anyone else.
