The problem arises when Smitty insists he's right, you insist you are right, and you end up stuck with the wrong call.
However, if the coach wants my input, he's got to get PU to ask for it or he's got to use the magic word. If he doesn't, and I'm working with Smitty, play on and fix it in your post-game.
