3. Was my partner straight lined?

If any of these are a 'no' I don't reach outside my primary (This also depends on who my partner may be). General rule of thumb I follow, if it looks like my partner got a great look and chose not to blow the whistle it's his no call to defend. This applies to 99% of reach calls, unless it's bloody murder then as a crew we have bigger issues to deal with.

My philosophy is that we are both making the same money, he should be able to defend his calls/no-calls to a coach.
The problem with this in a 2-man game is that the trail has to come a long way to get something that's going away from him...the lane line isn't a magical construct, and without a C there to take the play sometimes the L has a better look across the lane at the play.
