We have some funny responses to this issue but on a serious note, I think the problem occurring is that there are too many situations where coaches are asking the base umpire to " get help". If your in the right spot mechanically on the field, tell the coach that and stick to your call. No help necessary. The only thing we are doing is changing the person who we will be having a debate over the play with and now we are going to have the other coach come out on close plays the rest of the game trying to get us to change a call

On a side note, I made a call at the plate in a baseball game and the 3rd base coach asked me to get help from my partner. Conversation lasted thirty seconds. He didn't ask another question the rest of the day.....
