You made a good point that sometimes happens when an official is worried about being in the right spot "don't forget to referee". Don't be so worried about position that you forget to call the game. Do, however, know what your primary area of responsibility is and don't make a habit of calling fouls and violations in your partner's lap. Slow down, hold your whistle an extra split second on those close calls, you will find that many of them can be no calls. When you do blow your whistle, pause for a split second, tell your partner what your call is in a voice so that the players and coaches will likely know also, then hustle,don't hurry, to the table to report. Nobody is going anywhere til you get done, did I mention slow down?
