No. That is not a correct reading, at least the way I am reading it. He is saying that he will not go for help, since the only thing the coach has questioned is his judgement, rather than some element of the play (pulled foot, bobbled ball..etc.) that Steve might have missed. You should NEVER go for help when a coach asks when the only question he has involves your judgement. |
Also, keep in mind that when you go to your partner for help, you still need to make the call. You add what your partner gives you to what you saw and decide from there.
In the OP, if I clearly see the runner step full on the plate from just 5 feet away, there's nothing that my partner can tell me that would make me decide that I must have seen it wrong. And there would be no point even asking my partner.
There are times when you should check with your partner. This isn't one of them.
