There is not a lot you can do once you are on the floor. It is important to have a good pregame and go over the way you both should call the game. IE: being on the same page. That means calling the same violations and fouls. So getting to a game early and discussing it is important. Once you are on the floor and things aren't going well, we all know you have to do your best. I believe you don't call the other person's area unless it is a OH My Goodness crash. Then maybe you need to. If you don't call in the other person's areawillusually make them pick it up and get back in the game. Also if it dosen't get better at the next time out or exteded dead ball. Encourage your fellow offiical to get back in the game and help you. Putting some responsibility on your partner to make you both come out of this looking better is sometimes the kick they need to get going. Good luck
