Signals / discussions

[AtlUmpSteve]

As a general rule, I prefer a closed conversation when we review a situation that isn't clear cut or black and white. Was that a swing, did she pull her foot, did you see a tag, etc., these are open questions that can and should be done quickly and openly; you are giving up that call if your partner, by virtue of a better angle, saw the piece you are missing. But, obstruction, interference, issues which require rule interpretation in addition to your observation, these are not calls you are giving up; you are asking only for more information prior to deciding if YOU will change YOUR call. Those should be, IMO, private conversations and discussions.

Not sure I could direct nor dictate; this is what I believe is most appropriate.
