A coach who tends to be reactive tends to have a big reaction to getting the short end of this call whether another signal was made or not.

Picture this. Had this call twice tonight. BV Kid drives hard to the basket, makes some kind of little stutter step move, travels, then gets clobbered by the defense. I called the travel both times. Pretty good reaction from the coach and the fans. Suppose my partner had reached out and whistled the foul on this play? Bigger reaction from the coach probably.

Partner: My bad, Coach. His call, not mine.

And we move on.
