In thirty-five years, twice, as the lead, I did not get a chance to see the ball go in, or not go in, and screwed up. In both cases I was very intent on watching a troublesome matchup in my primary. Once I assumed the ball went in, when it didn't (it actually went out of bounds, I didn't make the call, and the players just made their own throwin before my partner killed the play). Another time, I made an out of bounds call on my endline when the ball actually went quickly through a very loose net and went directly out of bounds. I got help from my partner then as well.
