Strictly speaking, the coach has no right to question ANY judgment call purely on the basis of disagreeing with your judgment. He does have a right to ask about something he saw that perhaps you did not (e.g. foot off the bag, etc.), but not just whether you saw the ball arrive before the runner, etc.

Further, he has no right to a second judgment from your partner. If it is your call, your judgment is all he gets, for better or worse.

Now, if YOU believe you need to consult your partner, that's up to you, but the coach has no rights here when it is strictly a matter of judgment.

This does not mean you need to have a quick trigger, but OTOH, you do not have to put up with questioning (arguing) every close call.
