Correct me if I'm wrong (like I need to solicit that invitation...)

I'm thinking 2-man here, but it can definately happen in 3-man.

I'm lead and I have a banger to call. It is bang-bang, blow the whistle and SELL your call. As the calling official you are into making the call and possibly didn't hear your partner's whistle (I have yet to notice anyone pointing this out) to even know to look what he has.

As the trail it is easier to notice if your partner has blown his whistle if you have simultaneious whistles because there isn't as much of a crowd in front of you. As lead you may have 6 guys all taller than you (as my case more than not) and can't see your partner. Nevermind the fact you are selling the snot out of your call to let everyone know you were on top of the play.

You can try to be deliberate all you want, but in a close game, a loud gym, and one that needs to be sold, I'm likely not to think about my partner having the call.
