Trust your partners and you will get it that much more right because the percentage of calls will go up considerably when all officials are watching their primary. Again there are correctable errors, rule interps and other things that the crew concept will get done but the mechanically correct way to go into a game is to officiate your primary with reckless abandonment (someone tole me that once. It tickles me.).

This is what MTD put in his post "Remember officiate your primary, trust your partner, and get the plays, such as correctable errors, AP Arrow resets, fights, etc. correct."
Can we argue with this?

Why is it when someone says "Get the calls right as a team" there are those that jump up & down screaming "Call your primary"?

Get the calls right means nothing more - or less - than get the calls right. It does not mean to stare at the 5 sq ft of shiney wooden floor in front of you waiting for something to happen.
