Not talking about the crowd...could care less about the crowd. If the players on the court start going "HEY! He touched that!" I will simply ask my partner for help. If I don't ask my partner, they don't need to come running in there to fix something that's not broke.

And to tref - it's not "sensitivity" to respond to a direct attack like you threw out. It's normal human behavior. You can think the things I do are stupid all you want...but there is no reason to think that you are the knight on a white horse who is going to rescue the crew on every "bad" (and that's your opinion anyway) oob call. Why not trust your partner on these plays?
