I don't care if it's a green rookie or a "one year experience 20 times Smitty," I'm not coming back to rework an upheld protest.
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.
