J, this is not meant to demean you or anyone. But if NCAA varsity officials are wrong 75% of the time when they call outside their area, what do you think the percentage is for newer officials? Gotta be even higher, regardless of your good intentions of picking up your partner's slack.
If you can't see both the offensive and defensive players (which is usually the case when the play is outside your primary), you're at a severe disadvantage in calling the play. It might be better to let your partner live and die with his own calls than to go reaching and take a guess.
Just a thought.
