Trust your partner

In two man, slow down just a bit and hook in behind if the following players give you the room, but also TRUST YOUR PARTNER. For sure, pre-game it, but trust your trail to be hustling in behind at the off angle, working to be sure he can see contact you are screened from. If you don't have it and your partner sees it, he will delay just long enough to avoid doubling you, and then put air in that black thingy between his lips. Yes, it's not three man, but your not alone out there either.

Also, even in two whistle, don't be afraid to cross over to ball side on this if you have time in transition (as lead).

Agreed. But in transition (especially after a quick steal up top), it's hard for the T to get any reasonable distance -- and he may have to work around players who are lagging behind as well.

The Second Best Call Is A Really Strong Wrong Call ...

I've been told by veteran officials, "If there's a train wreck, call something".

And I hate this, because sometimes the train wreck looks bad but there's nothing to call. Sometimes kids trip over their teammates.
