Reffing with the experienced guy who calls nothing?

[Pirate]

O.K., so far I've got "call your own game" to "let the players adjust" to cover as much as you can in the pre-game.

The pre-game is a great suggestion in theory, but I think all of us know that once the ball goes up, my partner is still gonna let the forearm in the back go while I may ring him up. I have never had that much luck "deciding how the game will be called" in the pre-game.

As for "let the players adjust," I think Dan hit it right on the head. So, unless I get any more responses, I'll stick with the "call my own game" theory. It's really what I had planned on doing in the first place, but I was wondering if any of you had something more specific you would say or communicate to your partner in this difficult situation? Thanks.
