In my experiences, those who follow that mindset love to bring it up in the lockerroom, after the game when there is nothing you can do about it. Others believe that they should provide the info & allow the calling official to decide what to do with the info. When the boss asks about the questionable OOB call with 4 seconds left in a tied ballgame, I would like to be seen on film offering info as opposed to saying, "he didnt ask for help." Because "he didnt ask for help" will lead to "did you see it?" Thats just me...

I know "some guys" that would never ask for help as they think their credibility would be lost IMO, sticking with an IC & not even asking for help is worse. Everybody wants to get plays right when we're talking in the lockerroom. Get out on the floor & people get sensitive.

I let my partner(s) know in the pre-game to expect at least one "help" solicitation from me. I have no qualms at all asking for help.

Personally, I think both approaches have merit. Both will work when everyone wants to get the plays right, and neither will work if any of the officials are overly territorial.

Secondly, in pregame(whether I am leading it or not) I will tell my partners that if they want my help, ask for it, and I will give it. If they don't ask, there's no reason for me to give help. And I tell them that if I want their help, I will ask for it. If I don't ask, I don't need their help. So if I am working with you, and I call an oob and you come running down to me making a big show of helping me out, I will simply say "thank you", change the call to what you wanted it to be, and then do my best to never work with you again. And no, I will not bring it up in the locker room. If I am working with you and I make an oob call and people start going nuts, I will think "hmmm, did I miss something here?" and then I will yell "Partner, you got something for me?". And then I will change my call or not based on the info you give me. If I am working with you and you make an oob call and I have info you might want, I will hold my spot and stand there and smile at you stupidly. If you shake your head at me, away I go...if you want my information, you will ask me "Partner, you got something for me?" Nice and simple... Last edited by rockyroad; Wed Jun 06, 2012 at 04:02pm. |

What you describe sounds pretty basic stuff unless your partner signaled without consultation. But it is typical for a partner on a close out of bounds call where they see the entire play to come to the calling official and give them information. As long as he gave you information and you changed the call based on that information, not sure what is the problem. Peace

First of all, my "getting the play right" comment was in regards to having info & not providing it. Holding my spot & smiling at you stupidly is STUPID & doesnt do the game any justice whatsoever IMO. If I'm the coach who the IC went against & I see you standing there smiling, I want to know what you think is so funny! I'll probably get whacked, but I will show the play to your supervisor & see what he thinks about it & you smiling while not helping your partner. We'll have to agree to disagree about your thought process on help & no I dont want to battle you. There are too many potholes in my game, my CC % couldn't be in your ballpark. Im not that good...

There's No "Crowd" In Team ...
If I screw the pooch on an out of bounds call, and my partner has any information that can help us to get the call right, I want him to offer unsolicited help, and not just if the crowd moans. We're a team, and the crowd isn't part of our team. They don't know the secret handshake.

And to tref - it's not "sensitivity" to respond to a direct attack like you threw out. It's normal human behavior. You can think the things I do are stupid all you want...but there is no reason to think that you are the knight on a white horse who is going to rescue the crew on every "bad" (and that's your opinion anyway) oob call. Why not trust your partner on these plays? |

I prefer a hybrid...there are times I'll ask my partner for help after making an OOB call, if the players and coach are fussing more than usual. But also, I want my partner to feel free to come to me with additional information if he thinks I absolutely blew a call.
