One of the things I have tried - with varying degrees of success (usually dependent on partner's experience level) is to simply ask questions during a time-out..."Hey partner, what are you seeing in the paint? Am I missing something in there?" Or "Hey, I'm really uncomfortable with the amount of contact in the paint. Are you feeling the same way?" Sometimes all it takes is getting the other official to realize there is a concern, and then they step it up...any other ideas out there???
I totally agree that you should communicate with your partner, but you still should not spend time trying to mirror your partners calls. Even if you see something in the paint, does not necessarily mean the calls should change because of it.

Peace
