As has been discussed before (and as Rut pointed out), you need to be a good play caller and have good game management skills to handle all situations. And I would imagine that the league supervisor's answer was that he would want a "good game manager" because he probably assumes that anyone at that level has already mastered the play calling or they wouldn't be there.

However, in my personal experience, I can help my partner manage the game even if he is a little green and starts to sweat when the heat gets turned up. However, I can't help him when he doesn't know the rules and makes calls incorrectly that I don't witness (because I'm always watching off ball like I'm supposed to be, of course). :-)

Part of my pre-game conference is that we get together when anything weird happens. That way, we can manage the game together. For calls in his primary area, I can't be much help.
