Wow, this went bad fast - time to circle the wagons.
No one has ever said that you are not to call out of your primary what people have said is that you are best served by calling your primary first and if there is an elephant out there somewhere and you are 150% sure it is an elephant then call it. But you are best served as an individual and a crew to concentrate on your primary are first.
But in a two man crew the chances of all 10 players being out of your primary are pretty slim, so you will have action to concentrate on in your primary.
But per chance if everyone did run to your partners primary your job (the way I have been trained and called for 25 yrs) is that you take the next available or nearest matchup to assist your partner, excluding his primary match up.
Another thing that is very different is that most of us are discussing three man which is different all together from two man
So that we are talking about areas of coverage that are more defined and the transfer of coverage of an areaa is different because you are rotating from side to side as lead and center to trail - this makes coverage of your area even more important.
There are many ways of doing things and the mechanics of the game are always evolving, they have changed philosophys several times in the last five years, not to mention the different conference philosophys on mechanics - So when people who are in a position to know what assignors at the upper levels are looking for in officials who wish to advance it is a good idea to take heed and listen to their advice, rather than be the camper who says "yes but" and defend a position that no matter how technically right you might be you can not win because Diane Plas, Ed Bilik, or Mr. Lavender, want you to do it this way on their floors, in their conferences.
That is the way you have to do things.
It isn't personal it's business!
