That why you have a patient whistle

Let the primary make the call, and if s/he doesn't then blow your whistle. Avoid the blarge in the first place.

That's nice.

However, in the immortal words of Sister Theresa "Sh!t Happens!"

Even to the NCAA big dawgs.

We all know there are transition areas/times when the play is moving from one official's primary to the another. That is the point of risk...not the fishing expeditions deep into your partner's primary. Unless you like to leave the play uncovered for a second or two as the play moves around, there will amost always be double primaries for a brief moment when the new official picks it up before the old one drops it.
