"That is probably one of the stupidest things I have ever heard on this board."
You haven't read a whole lot of the postings on this board, have you?
One thing on which we all agree . . . there are those umpires that feel more comfortable asking for help; and there are those that are more comfortable making their own judgements. After years of asking my partner for help, I've learned that his perception is really no better than my own; only a different view and angle. Now I'm very comfortable in making my own decisions and replying to coaches if they choose to disagree with my ruling.
Others may do however they feel more comfortable. If you think you need help, ask for it. If you think you can do it alone, do it. "Ain't no big deal." either way.
