Depends. I will want the coach to tell me about something he thinks I missed (e.g. pulled foot) and not just complain about the call. If he tells me he saw something that I missed, even if based on my view of the play I'm sure of the call, I'll tend to give him the respect he deserves. I look at it as good game management.

Since Tom quoted me, I'll return the favor. I too want the coach to tell me something specific that he thinks I did not see - such as the hand not getting back or a dropped ball. And then I will check with my partner every time, looking for that specific piece of information that the coach detailed for me. If my partner does supply me with different info than I saw, I will change the call

The approach of "Coach, that's my call, I hustled into the best position possble, ..." That's the baseball approach for some levels. When I work those games, I do things their way.

Had a similar play last night in a fed game..Line shot to f4 who fired to first to get the runner off of the base... runner dives back in... I cant tell if the tag is made... (Im In "C" position) so I call "safe". The first baseman looks at me as if Im smoking crack on the field. The coach calls time and asks me If I would ask my partner for help. I tell him yes (why WOULDNT I). I go to my partner, and he tells me that the runner was definitely tagged before she got to the bag. I tell the other coach that the runner diving back to first was out.... and she doesnt say a word.. The bottom line is to get the play right. Period

It's awesome game management. You have fewer coaches screaming at you when you at least respect them enough to at least appear to conference with your partner.

I think I would respect the coach and go talk to my partner. If the coach starts to question every close call, then I might say "Coach, I am not going to conference on everything - Please tell me what you think I missed." If the coach has a specific request then I'll definitely ask my partner if they had a better view.

Darrell - Knowing that you don't smoke crack on the field, (after the game is a different story...:D) you're absolutely correct to not "guess" an out here since you didn't clearly see a tag.

Had you clearly seen the tag and called the out, then been asked by the offensive coach to get help, what is your response?

Hey Andy,

I know this old news, but I see Elkins went to AZ again
and again won that tournament. They are still undefeated.
