"Just leave it on...we'll control it from the truck"

[ref18]

Had a televised game on Saturday, and when the R was given the mic by the TV crew he was told to not worry about turning it on and off, leaving it in the on position all game and letting the guys in the truck worry about it.

Now I have heard from others that you should never wear a mic if you don't control when it's on or off.

So...in this situation what would you have done...
Flicked the on/off switch on the mic yourself?
Left it on the whole game?
Refused to wear the mic?

My choice would've been to control the mic myself using the switch on the mic...but I wasn't the R so I didn't get to make the choice...he just left it on for the whole game.
