Good point on the "on the floor" comment. I have heard some high school and college supervisors say they don't like that terminology. I agree with everybody about not overuling your partner. You always want to come to your partner and give he or she the info you have and then let them make up their mind what they want to do. I heard someone mention "I thought", avoid think and thought, say I know or I am 100% if you are coming to your partner. The only time you want to say "I thought" is maybe if they come to you for help and you all want to get in a discussion about the play. My supervisors will take names and kick a** if someone comes in and tells you something 100% and you don't take take that info to change your own call. A lot of people seem to disagree about coming to your partner on whether a player is in the act. I am not saying this is something that should be done a lot. I have been in games where it has been done about 5 times in my entire officiating career which consists of at least 2000 games. But each time it has been done it has been obvious and the coaches have accepted it and if it had not been done we would of lost credibility as a crew. Obviously, out of bounds calls are where this is done the most.
