You actually did the same thing with me in the adult league thread. It's not so nice, is it?
I don't think you actually deserved what MTD said, so I wouldn't comment on that. I think I do understand what you are saying, and I think there are plenty of shades of gray on this subject. But I still would tend to assume that my partner has a better look than me in his primary. There are times when you really think you see something across the court, but your partner tells you it didn't happen that way when you talk about it later. I'm not sure you can be 100% certain when you're 30 feet away, but sure - once in a while you will be right. I believe a lot of what Nevadaref said to be more accurate, and to be the way the very top guys in my old association expected their partners to work. These guys almost say exactly what Nevada said - respect each other's primaries. If I don't call something in my primary, there's probably a reason. Never ever call anything right in front of me. In the paint - they might get screened if they are lead, but give them first shot - minimize the double whistles. That's the way I think the game should be called.
We miss a lot of things during a game - but blatantly getting one wrong from 30 feet away can really turn things sideways for you and your partner.
