I don't make a point to go fishing or reaching for calls out of my area, but don't we have an obligation as officials to call the fouls/violations that we see on the floor...I may be scanning the floor and catch something that my partner might not be in the best position to see and call....

Thoughts....

I almost has a double-whistle a coupla weeks ago.

The ball bounced near my endline, and I was waiting for it to hit something, when my partner blew her whistle from deep trail. So, I held up.

I asked, "Whatcha got?". She said, "It's out-of-bounds!"

I was delighted she caught that one for me.

In the pro summer league I was at the last two summers, I commented to myself this year that there were quite a few double whistles.

Certainly don't want to wear blinders but don't want to "scan the floor" either. You have enough going on off-ball in your stated area. All officials have an obligation to call a foul that they see. See mechanic section 2.3.2.A.9 page 25. You just have to be aware of what your primary coverage area is and what is not your PCA. If a foul occurs outside your PCA (except non-basketball plays such as flagrant fouls which should be called immediately regardless of area), hold your whistle for a sec and let your partner have first shot. Then blow it if there is no call and it is obvious violation/foul. Your pregame should go over this tricky situation. You don't want to call a travel 40 feet away when it's in front of the Lead
