primary coverage
It is agreed that a little more in depth discussion during pregame would be useful. Also, during a time out or other dead ball situation, you could redirect your partner's attention to off ball concerns by saying something along the lines of "its getting pretty physical out here, we need to pick up something off ball in our primary."
Now with that said, the most common rule of thumb at the HS level is, if there is a double whistle, then the official who it is coming to takes the call. Since I was not there I have no real knowledge, but with the change in coverage when ball is strong side and the L is coming over, this is part of the L's primary. Was he in "rotation?"
If it is my game, we cover this in the pregame, and if it is happening during the game, I will address it. Because sure as s***, if 4 eyes are on the ball, someone will hit with a 'bow and neither official knows why some kid is bleeding or has a broken nose.
just my .02 worth
