Officiating is a situational thing where our judgment is called into action.

We can have all kinds of philosophies, and agree with them or disagree with them all we want, but no philosophy can trump doing what is needed within those situations that occur.

I can say it's better that a partner give the second, but when the situation calls for me giving both...then I'm giving both.

You can say don't call one for your partner when the coach or player is after them, but if we are working with a partner, like say Iref4u2, I'll go get one before I let a game go in the toilet.

We have to do what is best for the game at that time and worrying about philosophies, what assignors would think, or anything else shouldn't enter the picture.
