I do this all the time. It works for me, but unfortunately we deal with other umpires that insist that we must make them happy. Not sure where this came from or why we try to make someone happy. Coaches have an agenda and they will ask everyone if they think it will get a chance and do not realize that we are all not watching the same things. I have no problem with help on legitimate situations, especially with fewer umpires on the field and we are in really silly angles to make calls. But not on plays where we have only minimal responsibilities.
