Heck, what would happen if the coach heads to my partner, I say, "That was my call, coach, so come to me please," and he responds, "I'm going to him about something else that was his responsibility, Blue"? Then I've got egg on my face.

This exactly. If coach is talking to my partner and partner doesn't tell him to go to me, I'm assuming the discussion is about something my partner is responsible for. I'm not interjecting myself. (Granted, my attitude about this may be different in the case of a rookie who doesn't yet know how to handle this).

So I am doing another game last night and the right fielder dives for a catch and snares it. As he brings his glove up from the ground to show his has possesion, at the point he stretches arm out completely he drops the ball.

I anticipate the call and end up having to change it. It happens.

"It" happens less frequently if your timing is v-e-r-y slow.

Your absolutley correct, but even then "it" still happens.
