If the Lead looks up for help and does not get any, then he should show a direction and move on quickly. If a coach questions the delay, simply say that you wanted to make sure that the C did not see something differently.
I am sure that some of you may feel that the A/P is the right way to go, and by rule you are correct, but you do nothing more than open a can of worms using the A/P in this case.

I agree with what you say here but I'll pick a small nit.
Instead of saying "Using the A/P in this case shows the
crowd that the officials are not watching the game."
you might have said "Using the A/P in this case gives the
impression that the officials are not watching the game".[/b]
