I agree about not coming to your partner with everything...

but, when a partner does come in...do they really come to you with the above attitude?

We pre-game something like this...(and it is usually for OOB calls)

"...if you think you kicked the call (roar of the crowd/players/coach) then give me a look...(if I have information, and maybe even if I don't) I'll point the "CORRECT" direction...you blow your whistle and YOU change it...and away we go...don't waste a lot of time on it."

Sure, sometimes a partner might have to come in and give another partner some information, "unsolicited"...but, you better make sure you are 100% correct and it needs to be corrected. Even then...I am not about to tell my partner that "it cannot be this or cannot be that"...I give them the information I have and let them decide if they want to change THEIR CALL.
