Help, I need somebody, help!

My question is what is wrong with telling a coach "NO." You make a judgment call, you see the play, you do not have to ever ask for help. I talk about these situation in my pregames almost all the time. And if my partner has some information that will help, he will do something to get my attention or we do nothing. But in these cases, I do what FVB58 says to do. You ask for help before you make a call and that is it. But if I am sure and I know my partner cannot help me, why not tell the coach, "NO." Who cares if they are upset. Let them be upset. Life goes on. But if they want you to make calls in a better position, they need to hire more umpires to work each game. Until they do that, they have to live with the limitations of a 2 man system.

Gee, we agree. I guess it is time to go to bed!
