The question is for the "newer" guys, the guys that are likely to think staying in their primary means NEVER calling ANYTHING - not even the most obvious - outside of their primary.[/B]
Somehow I don't see newer officials as a problem of staying in their area. In fact I think when they learn to stay in primary is when they start moving up. They need to learn to stay in prmary before learning what to reach for.

And BTW, I like to think that for many of us 90% of OUR out of primary calls ARE correct, because we are selective and know when to make those calls. [/B]
This might be true for some of us, because we seldom call out of our area. I would guess I might average one call a game out of my primary. I might have two or three double whistles where my whistle is in my secondary. However, You show me an official who regularly makes calls out of their primary and I'll show you an official who doesn't have a clue.
