I never say anything specific about anyone... I've had some darn good partners as of late with actual pre-games! (unheard of sometimes at the sub-varsity level in houston)and I always say - Lets make our first foul a good one and lets make sure a players 5th is worthy of a 5th. Patient whistles, call the obvious and lets keep Adv/DisAdv in mind during the game, and make sure we stay in our primaries... Then we go back and nit pick whatever we need to.

I've had some partners that are like "make sure so and so stays in the game" when a co-official tells me how to call a game I give a smiling go take a long walk off of a short pier look and say - Lets just call it like we talked about and as we see it. I HATE adjusting to my partner, espcially if its ticky-tack and slows the game and takes the flow away from the players.. I've had several coaches say, I wish he'd adapt to you! about all I can do is just say "well coach, we are a team"
