I have been guilty of this. I've gone for help too quickly when I was only 98% sure I'd made the right call, rather than 100%.

I've gotten better. Now I say NO if I'm in position, had a good angle, and am reasonable certain of what I've seen. And to parrot Andy, I make the coach tell me why they want the help and what they saw. If it's judgment only, nice talking to you but let's play ball.
