The WH is going to want an answer. Unless the captain can look over and read lips or hear them screaming, he's locked in.
Maybe I should have typed more the first time.

Must be different in your area. I know no WH's that are going to force a kid to make a call without getting input from the coach. Never have. I grant that it's frustrating to watch them yell back and forth sometimes - but I cannot recall EVER seeing a WH cut off this conversation and demand an answer. I think it's foolish to do so as well. No one is saying let them go to the sideline...
