1- Because the all ten players may be in your partner's primary.
2- Because you have a closely guarded count that takes you into your parnter's area.
3- Because your partner has a trap in his primary.
You can't ignore play or contact, just because it's not in your primary.
Neither official is limited to calling fouls or violations in their own area of the court. Each official should call fouls wherever they occur and be prepared to help the other official(s) at all times.
