I was imagining a call that needed to be made and my assigner asking why I didn't call it. "It wasn't in my primary" isn't going to fly. Say... an obvious air-ball on a free throw by 5 feet and for some unknown reason the T/C don't get it. I'll call it as the L. Shouldn't ever happen, just sayin'.

Completely agree. Not only 100% sure, but also a call that needs to be made.
