If a player or coach comes to me in a reasonable manner & requests I watch for something I'm completely open to suggestion: "Geeze, I haven't seen that but I'll be looking for it now. Thanks." And I will look for it and I will call it if I see it. Trouble is, as hard as I look I don't often see what they are asking me to see. [/B]

9th grd girls game. White coach, losing quite badly, chirping in my ear that Black 11 is pushing to get separation. Sure enough, as soon as he says it, I look and she shoves the girl to get separation on an inbounds play. I hated to make the call right after he chirped, but it was too blatant. I was more upset that I'd missed it before that. Gave me a good lesson in off-ball coverage.
