You didn't read what I said. I do not have a problem with a partner who officiates Off The Ball (OfTB) out of his PCA. When there are ten players on the court and the game is being officiated by a Two-Person Crew (TwPC), that type of officiating is very important. But if the OfTB official is a Ball Watcher, then there can and will be problems. I and many other esteemed members of this Forum have stated before, when an official is Ball Watching outside of his PCA, bad things can and will happen.
Tref gives me the vib that he is a Ball Watcher. The Three-Person Crew (ThPC) was created so that there will be times when there will be two eyes On The Ball (OnTB) and four eyes OfTB, and that there will be times when there will be four eyes OnTB and two eyes OfTB. In the latter situation there will one official will be considered the Primary Official OnTB and the other official will be considered the Secondary Official OnTB, and ball and location and where the play started will dictate who is who (or is it whom is what, LOL?); that type of knowledge comes from experience.
