Missed a call. What would you have done?

Freix and Pete:
Your points about the ensuing action affected by the call are well taken. Perhaps the basketball analogy wasn't a good one. My main point was that the theory of holding on a call to ask your partner for help was just not plausible in some situations. Just as you point out, the continuing action is going to be affected by BU's call and there is no way to freeze the action and ask PU if he can help with the call. It's BU's call to make and I think he should make it based on what he sees, then if he has reason to believe he may not have seen the entire play, i.e., a missed tag, he can then ask for help if he see's fit. If your philosophy is to either get help before making a call or not at all, that is fine. Just don't tell me with a straight face that on a bang-bang play at first, you are going to stop and check with your partner to see if he saw something you didn't. Btw, Freix, my name is Devon, that is just a quote from David Hume at the bottom of my posts. Thanks for the discussion, it gets pretty boring on the basketball board this time of the year.
