I do and I hope that we all talk about this in pre-game, and we all mention that we are not shy about asking for help if we need it.

But I do not agree with the if you do not know give me the Thumbs up, what if your third has the only real view of the play?

So now you could have a scenario with the lead not knowing who last touched the ball so he looks to the trail who gives the thumbs up and you want to go alternating posession but the C steps in and gives infromation that says it is team A's ball.

We use the If you do not know lets get together and talk about it.
that way there is no visual signal that can get you in trouble later.
just my preference.

In your sitch, when Trail gives *Thumbs up*, you point to [or look to] Center for help and Center gives direction.

Strongly disagree. If you give the thumbs-up, then we're stuck with it. I may have an idea and be looking to see if you have a tip. If you give the thumbs-up, then my information (even if it's not 100%) goes out the window.

If you don't know, then that's all I need to know. I can then use the information I have, or I can go with the held ball myself.

Just ask if partner saw a tip.

It's all luck of the draw on this play.
