That's ok - it's always good to fall back on the old standby's.

My two cents on the topic - granted, I don't work as many 2-person games any more, but I would think the main issue would be to avoid any confusion and possible "holes" in coverage between partners. The obvious thing would be to pre-game this with your partner. We know where we're going to end up (administering official at throw-in spot, other official along the center line), but make sure you're both on the same page with regard to who is reporting and what the other official will do during the reporting process. Perhaps, in some instances, it would be ok to "pass off" the TO reporting to your partner, while you stay with the players and the ball. Some officials will never do this, but as long as you cover it in the pre-game, it won't become an embarrasing moment during the game.
