I mean, as near as I can tell, there isn't any spot on the floor that isn't in both a primary and a secondary, so there are always two people "authorized" to make any call. (I mean in three-whistle)
And if we ever work together, you can trust me to miss at least one that I'd be happy if you got.

Missing 1 is fine, I suppose. It's your problem usually.
But if you miss 1 I want to know about it...in case you miss another so I can be ready to help.
And certainly if you miss the game changing call I want to know about it so we (the crew) can save the game.
This argument about "I aint looking out of my area no way no how" and "trust your partner" and "who's watching Aunt Milly in the 4th row while you're looking in my area" is BS to me. I don't put on my black polyester pleated no belt no cuffs sansabelts and stick a whistle in my mouth only to ignore 2/3 of the game. If I did I would feel obligated to return 2/3 of my game fee. And trust is a 2 way street...if I'm going to trust you to make good calls then you have to trust me when I am forced to poach in your area.
