Ex, I tend to call the game a little tight early in the game and let the players adjust accordingly BUT some officials let them play a little early in the game and THEN adjust their calls to the style of play. Im not aurguing which way is better however Im wondering how you handle this sit and others similar to it.
Do you change the way you call the game according to how your partner calls it? If so to what degree? Or do you stick to your philosophy the whole game irregardless (  ) of what your partner calls...which might lead to conflicting calls ? |
The only major way I adjust is if my partner is calling a particular thing, I might go looking to see if I can get a similar foul. But if it is not there I am not going to make it up or assume I am missing anything.
I also do not like the terminology "calling it tight" or "calling it loose." I call the game from and advantage/disadvantage and not every game has the same level of advantage or disadvantage in those games. This just comes with time and learning how to officiate with others. There is not a magic formula.
