Explaining non calls out of your primary to coaches.

And how would you know if that happened out of your area?

Come on, Mark. You officiate in your primary, but when you have to help get something outside of your primary, you do so. I can tell you every time there is a big collision or substantial contact during a game, because that can escalate and cause problems. And if I don't have a whistle, and nobody else does, I can freely admit to someone that there was a big collision and for whatever reason we didn't get anything. It happens. However, I love it when my partners pick up something that I should have, but just did not pull the trigger. That's teamwork and good for everyone.
