Over-ruling partner

[chuckfan1]

What someone taught me a few years ago, was on the few times we conferred about a play, and the even more rare times we might have changed something was this: Get together and discuss it. If your partner has something to add thats different to what you got, and it might alter your call, just say to the coach, "Coach, after conferring with my partner, I received some additional information that the initial call needs to be changed. Heres what were going to do....blah blah blah..etc." The coach doesnt always agree of course, but by using "additional information" it lends credence to WHY we conferred, and WHY were altering the call.
