Let's assume Ozzy has the dish and I'm the BU and I am unsure if F3 has the bag or not. I am not going to wait until after the play. I simply say "Ozzy did he have the bag" or something similiar. Ozzy in turn will give me what he saw. However, the call is STILL MINE. All I am doing is asking for specific info and then I will make the call.

IMO, it looks professional and the game keeps moving. If you wait, then the Coach will request TIME, go talk to the BU who might or might not ask the PU for help etc. that all takes needless time away from the game.

Bottom Line: Do not get in the habit of using the PU as a "'cruch" all the time on the swipe tag pulled foot, however, if you do need help do it before the play is over. It looks professional.
