Probably everybody agrees with that, but that's not what we're talking about in the original situation. You shouldn't be calling your partner's area just because he has a slightly slower whistle. That's dumb. Why have 2 people out there, then? Just let the one guy have the whole floor.

Without making for an uncomfortable situation how do you tell or ask your partner why he keeps blowing deep in your zone???

This how I would approach it. I had it happen to me, I was fairly new, but I knew my coverage. I asked him nicely," PArtner did I miss something that you are calling in my area?" Please trust me! Let me call my area. He did the rest of the two games we had..

Well I was referring to 3-man as that is all I work. You're right though someone shouldn't blow because of a quicker whistle.

When folks start calling the entire floor I have seen guys let them have the entire floor until they get the point!
I like the board marking and I like the "trust" thing subtle is better and causes less crew problems.
