I agree that we wouldn't want to "bird dog" the shooter, but sometimes it may be necessary to identify the shooter, in some manner, to your partner. You may not want to be the only person in the gym who knows who the "real" shooter is. Players may be confused, and coaches, at least around these parts, have been known to try some crazy stunts. We don't need any correctable errors, or any hanky panky, in our games when it can be prevented. Having an extra set of eyes knowing who the "real" shooter is can be helpful in a few situations.
