I had a game earlier this year where the lead did not blow the whistle when the ball went out on the endline (the ball went out right in front of him). I was C and the T just stood there and looked at him until he blew his whistle. At halftime the T (who was a former D1 official) said that in D1 you get downgraded on evals and sometimes fined if you call your partner's line, even if he doesn't, unless of course it's one of those balls right on the corner and looks like it could be either end line or sideline. I guess the thought is that a D1 official won't do this?
