Somebody here (that person will probably identify himself) said something like:
It's okay to reach out of your primary to point out an elephant on the court, but be sure it's an elephant. Along these lines, I have said, if you reach across the court to call one right in front of your partner, even if you're right, it kinda makes the crew look bad. If you make this call and you're wrong, it is unforgivable. IOW, better to say, "What elephant?" than to say, "Look, an elephant!" but it turns out to be a hippopotamus.

First off the line is:
If you go fishing in your partner's pond it better be for a whale and not a minnow. Second, as described this play ISN'T squarely in leads primary, it occurs at the FT line area so it's in that overlap area. IMO, as described, trail had the better look AND the play is coming from trails primary and the contact occurs where the primaries meet...this isn't a case of a deep trail calling a B/C in leads corner. |

If I'm wrong and your reading is right -- the contact is at the FT line -- then I'm more than happy to put a whistle on that. Also (and this is not directed at blindzebra), somebody said that making this call keeps your partner and the crew out of trouble. I disagree completely. This is the only kind of play where coaches actually care about PCA's. ![]() |
