I'm not in like with not making the call, either. It seems to me that it looks like you are accepting the "it must have happened if that coach asked about it" reaction, when we were told for years to NOT go for help, because you (BU) are expected to make the call when you see it, not be convinced later.

If you are so uncertain you won't make the call, why are you then ready to suggest to your partner something happened that needs to have the live-time call changed? It has always been my philosophy that you have to be even MORE SURE of the need to change a call/non-call by your partner than the need to make an initial call.
