Proper Etiquette....

[Steve M]

Chuck,
If you have any doubt on a pulled foot, check with your partner before you make the call with something like this: "Steve, did she have the bag?", then make the call. You made the call and that's what we go with. Do not go to your partner, without the coach's request, after you've made the call. In college, if a coach "asks" you to check with your partner, you must do so. In ASA and Fed, you do not have to, but it is a very good idea to do so - unless you've got a jerk or two coaching that game.

If a coach ever asks me if I am sure of a call - I am absolutely positive. If a coach gets specific about a pulled foot or a tag and then ask that I check with my partner, chances are very good that I will.
