Pete,
Just to add to your excellent comments about receiving training and being in the right place at the right time:
We need to learn how to respond to coaches as well. Many times, a simple, "I had a great view, coach!" will suffice. (Even if you didn't have a great view.)
Another good one is, "I already know he (my partner)was looking at 3rd (or 1st or home or 2nd; doesn't matter); but I'll ask him anyhow." Then go pretend to talk it over and go with your original call anyhow. "Just like I thought, Coach. He had to look at 3rd (or 1st or home or 2nd). But he thinks I got it right also."
Amazing what a little BS can do.
Play ball! (The operative word here is "Play"!)
