The original good question was why would you take a call based on the seniority of your partner?

B/c as the C or T I would not be looking too hard at A1 in this situation. But if I were working with a newbie or rookie and they missed something obvious I would be more inclined to come and get it to save them the fallout from a coach that might ensue.

Sorry if I'm being a little dense, but you're not looking at the play but you'll take a travel to keep a coach from b1tching to a rookie? Is this what you're saying?

How does this make sense?

If I'm working with a rookie I'm more inclined to be looking outside my primary.

Not sure I agree with this at all as a general statement.

Abyway... if working with a rookie you follow the 1-0 break away? Or you hang back?

As the 'C' I would see no reason to go past half court.

So you're calling a travel on a 1-0 break away from HC as C?

Would you do this even if the travel occurs on the lead's side of the court?

What would you do? You said you would call it if I recollect correctly. Are you saying you would come across halfcourt on a 1-on-0 as the 'C'?
