I'm not sure I understand why the statement "after the ball goes up, there isn't any difference anyway" would be a peeve...after the ball goes up, everybody on the floor better be in a "lead" frame of mind or we are all in trouble...many times the U (or U1/U2) will handle situations with coaches or table crew simply because they are the closest one...the only thing R does different is rule on any situations not specifically covered by a rule...if there needs to be a discussion, fine - discuss things - but it certainly doesn't have to be the R who then takes the decision back to coaches or table...if my partner initiated the discussion with table or coach, comes to me for whatever meager insight I can provide, he or she can certainly take our decision back to table or coach...what's the big difference??
