While I agree that you should go to your partner, and the partner should give their honest answer to the appeal, it does have the perception of being difficult to call from that location.

If my first instinct is, "he offered," I'll ring it any time -- no matter if I'm in A, B, C, D, E, I, E, I, or O. And I couldn't possibly care what a coach says -- he's not allowed to argue balls and strikes.
