In my pre-game, I tell my partner that I expect a few double whistles, in the right areas, for the right reasons, at the right times. And I tell them that I have the ability to give the preliminary signal - hand raised, open or in a fist - without going to the secondary signal, until we have checked with each other. It only takes a moment to determine which of us will take the call.
As the players and coaches see our communication, it helps with their confidence that our crew is working together, and trying to get the calls right.
