I live and die by my calls, and my partner does the same. It's not fair to my partner if I call in his/her area, and how is my partner going to learn how to make calls if I make them all for them.
If my partner makes a habit of continually calling in my area, I'm going to mention it at halftime or in our postgame.
Half the time it's because I want to see some more of the play develop before I put air in the whistle. Why cancel a score to call what could be a meaningless foul?
I've had partners who don't understand the concept of advantage/disadvantage, and will call something everytime they see contact.
This pisses me off more than you can imagine.
Basketball is a contact sport, if the players didn't want to play in a contact environment then they should be learning to dance ballet.
But I can't stand it when I have a partner who repeatedly calls in my area. And if it happens you can be assured it will get brought up.
