Matt,
You do not want to poach a call by a BU regarding out, safe, interference, obstruction, and probably ejections or warnings about the use of foul language( he obviously can hear things you cannot). Keep in mind that judging as to whether or not a player has made malicious contact is a shared responsibility. If you feel you have seen malicious contact, run him immediately! You don't need to wait on your partner to make this call.
Another example would be the throwing of a helmet after a BR has been rung up at first. Would you want to reserve this call only to the BU, only because he is closer to the infraction?
Tim.
