I'll stay in my area and trust that you can officiate your area. Your messes are yours to deal with and clean up. If you prove to me over the course of the game that you cannot handle it, then I'll come in and assert myself when needed (only in the last few minutes of a game).

However, I'll wack a coach or player from anywhere on the floor if you can't handle them after you've blown a play.....

I'm doing what my supervisors want done or what was pre-gamed with the crew. I'm not going to live by any hard and fast rule that I'm not coming to get it from the trail.

And personally I would rather my partner come from the trail to get a crash I missed in front of me than for a partner to butt his nose into my deallings with a coach.
