When to give your partner

Well, the original sitch stated that the off ball official had definite knowledge (perceived or otherwise) of a call that is opposite of his partner. Granted, this SHOULD be a point discussed in pre-game. In any event, I think you should at least offer the information even if he did not ask you for it. It is not too unlikely that my field of vision could have included the play even though it may have not been in my primary. Overlap can and does occur, expecially in 2-man.

Normally, I would not offer unless I had definite knowledge in my mind, I would wait to be asked by him. But it is not always a simple answer. IMHO

I think it is a very simple answer...I tell my partners in pre-game that unless they ask for my help, I'm not coming in there...I will stand there and look at them with the big-eyed "Hey, do you want my help" look, but if they don't ask, we're going with what they call...
