Change of Plans...?

[FrankHtown]

There are two sides to every coin. I once reffed a freshman game with a partner that called everything...in my primary, out of my primary, my out-of-bounds line, his out-of-bounds line. At halftime I asked him if I needed my whistle for the second half, or was I just along for the ride?

Making sure you switch after fouls is one way to at least try to balance the coverage. If he's passing on stuff as Lead, after the next foul, you'll be Lead, and can try to clean it up. But I've found trying to cover for a partner weakens your game. There is too much going on and it's happening too fast to see everything. Focus on your primary, because on the next foul, his primary will become your primary.
