I'll stay in my area and trust that you can officiate your area. Your messes are yours to deal with and clean up. If you prove to me over the course of the game that you cannot handle it, then I'll come in and assert myself when needed (only in the last few minutes of a game).
However, I'll wack a coach or player from anywhere on the floor if you can't handle them after you've blown a play.....

So the drive starts in YOUR area and goes straight to the basket, there is a big crash, and you are going to stand there and look at the L and wait for him/her to make the call??? If I'm your evaluator at that game, and this play happens and there is no whistle on it - you are going down with the L. You sure as heck better be willing to step in and take this call if it doesn't come from the L.
And whacking a coach just to prove you can is not showing how good an official someone is. Getting the whistles on plays like this so that the coach doesn't go sideways on us is a much better indicator of how good someone is.
