I assume you're joking and pointing out an slight oversight in language on my part. When I tell my partners to call something if they see it, common sense comes into play here as well. Often when I work with somebody new, we talk about the various leagues and assignors we each work for. If younger officials seem interested in a particular league, I tell them to feel free to call me I can be of any help to them, regarding possibly needing references to get their feet in the door of these leagues. Just because I tell them to call, I don't expect my phone to ring at 3am.
And besides, I don't think I was contradicting myself, because my partner from the situation I described didn't see the violation, because it never happened. I was right on top of it and nobody had a clearer view than myself.
