Now, here's the problem I have.....

The Line...

I am an official and you are an official....If I see something that you missed and it's in your area, isn't it better for all of us, if I make the call?

Not necessarily!!!! It depends on the situation. If you are leaving your area to fish in somebody else's pond, the call had better improve the game. For example, if you think your partner missed a travel, you coming into his primary to get it probably will hurt the overall game more than help it. However, if you happen to notice a rough foul (elbows, etc) and come and get that, the game will be improved by the call being made.

Because you could be wrong. If I pass on something that was in my area and I had a great look at, you will not make me happy by coming from out of no where making a call. I better have been screened off or a play that everyone in the gym could see but me. If I get a good look at it, we are likely going to have some words about it later. Both of us being an official does not give you the right to call anything you "think" you see.

99% of the time, the Trail will be responsible for the call.

Huh?

99% of the time trail is not tableside? Thought the official opposite table has this call...? The the C has it 1%. please explain BillyMac.

Just guessing, but I think that Billy is referring to 2-man only.
