Take this as just advice, not saying right or wrong: I used to feel like "I've got to have
something." Now I realize that is why we have partners. Watch the play, see your partner in your peripheral vision. If you see he is watching the play, trust your partner while you are stepping to get a better angle if possible. It's okay to have nothing there. What I'm curious about, if we have a double whistle on a tie up sitch where my partner has a held ball and I have illegal contact that allowed B1 to tie up that ball, I'm coming in HARD with the foul.

A defender comes in and I "see" her arm go around the player with the ball and in the direction of where she is holding the ball. The offensive player gives the common shake off trying to (what I presumed) get the ball loose. I go up with the held ball, but in reviewing the tape my partner in the Center has a foul and it shold have been a foul.
Is there any way to handle this type situation as the Lead? If you are blocked like this should you leave the call to the center official as he has a view of the front of the player and play (if the action happens up front)?
Thanks!
