Technically, the Referee is responsible for the jumpers and the Umpire is responsible for the non-jumpers in a 2-whistle game. (In a 3-whistle NCAA game, the U1 has responsibility for the jumpers; the U2 has the non-jumpers. I don't know the HS mechanics for 3-whistle.)
But in reality, the Referee doesn't have a whistle in his mouth. So if there's a quick violation by the jumper, the Umpire is probably more likely to call it.
Just one more weakness of the 2-whistle system.
