with that said, it would seem to me then that you would prefer to work with a partner that could make up for your deficiencies, i.e. rules applications.

Sorry to disappoint you. But I have very little problems getting rules right, especially in a basketball game. Had two different situations with correctable error this past year, and my partner and I got both right. I probably study more rules and mechanics as anyone that officiates. I have to to keep up in 3 sports at very different levels in each.
But unlike some people I look at officiating as basically a team sport. We are a team, not an individual. And it is not like I was the only person that kicked the call, so did my partner. We discussed the issue and that is what we came up with, with the information that I had. Actually I did not even remember everything that happen before the error. Mistake on my part during a summer game that my head was not as much into. Not an excuse, just a fact.
I attended two camps this weekend, and I overheard some evaluators talking about a particular crew on a court and kind of joking about how "there are not a lot of tournament officials on the floor." Interesting that they did not kick any calls. I wonder why they would say such a thing.
Peace
