Trust Your Partner, Stay In Your Primary ...

In a typical game, I think that my partner may make an incorrect call a few times, as I'm sure he thinks the same for some of my calls. Sometimes we will discuss this on the court, as with an out of bounds call that might have been slightly tipped, or with a violation before a foul, or a foul before a violation, but most of the time I just assume that he had a different, and possibly better, look than me, as I hope that he thinks of my calls, and we play on. On some occasions, if it's important enough, I will say to my partner, "So what did see on that play?", during halftime, or after the game.
