But for the most part I feel I have a good angle on things and some non-violations right in front of me have been called violations by my partner. For instance, A1 goes up for a jump shot and B1 hits the ball clearly out of A1 hands directly down and A1 recovers. My partner blows a travel. Am I wrong in this case???? Also, what are some good ways in letting my partner know to trust me and stay in their primary??? Thanks in advance.

Pregame, pregame, pregame. There are four things I always go over in pregame no matter who I'm working with. Referee the defense, call the obvious, stay in your primary and trust your partner. Being a new ref, your partners are probably struggling with the fourth item. Be sure to let them know that you've had problems with overzealous partners in the past and you're struggling with it. Hopefully they'll back off and let you cut your teeth a little. With that being said, be prepared to hear about things you miss. Coaches are probably getting used partners picking up your slack and you'll have to answer to them.
