You're in a tough spot with a partner like that. A lazy partner who just wants to get the game over ASAP poses quite a challenge.

From my experience, you've got a small number of options. The first is to try and persuade him to do a little thing I like to call "referee". The second is GiGdGo, do your thing and let him do his. If neither of those works, and the game is getting away from the crew, then and only then do you expand your area a little to pick up only what must be called. If the game is unnecessarily rough, start by getting the off-ball stuff. And if you're going to maintain anything that looks like consistency, you need to force regular switches.

Notice I have suggested nothing that endorses reaching 40 feet to grab a plain old foul your partner has passed on.

YMMV
