This is my first year, but I seem to have problem when my partners are calling stuff in my primary. Yeah, I'll be the first to admit, I do miss little sutff. 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.
There are a couple of ways to handle this:

1.Point out that you are aware that you are new,but if they really want to help you get better,they need to let you call your primary.

2.Make a few calls right in front of them and if they have a problem with it,remind them that they are doing the same thing to you.

3.Tell them to stop calling in my kitchen and remind them if we are both watching my area who is watching yours?

Remember you can't get better if you don't call your own game,you can't learn from their experience if they are not doing things the right way,that will lead you to bad habits.

Find a tactful way to address it,but you need to do something.

Good luck!
