Sure Z, that can happen, but not to me.
It's still my whistle because of my great court awareness.

Mick,
I didn't think I needed to write the part about "except for Mick" because I figured it was obvious.

YU.P. There's nothing quite as comforting as a solid partner that is willing to help us out.
Yet, we've all worked with that newer official or the perpetually sub-varsity official who, at times, will be all over the court and on every line, a habit developed as a survivial technique from working with newbees in too many games.
(Heck, many of us have been that newer official.)
Eventually, they/we have to break the practice of stealing lines and to work on trusting our partners.
So, we have a saying for that new partner that regularly whistles our lines: "You owe me *2-bits*."
