Don't need to communicate; that is the way my partner and I work(As I stated in the initial message). I KNOW that when I go to 3B that he will have my backside covered.
Having a steady partner (who is both a neighbor and friend) has made umpiring much more enjoyable. Whether we are BU or PU we always know where each other is at and we are always backing each other up. There have been several incidents where one of us was out of position and we immediately point to the other and get a call. Coaches have complemented us after a game on our teamwork; never had a coach complain ("that's YOUR call, Blue!) when we transferred a call.
