He'd have one of two responses:
1. Dig in his heels and defend his call "for the good of the game."
2. Shrink and admit he was wrong.

1 is much more likely than 2.

I would have told the coach that my partner just came down from Canada to work the game and he counted the five seconds in metric.

Any coach worth his salt knows that metric seconds are longer.

It would be interesting to hear his side of the story and catalogue in under the I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT file.

1. Why are you looking at the end line at all?

2. Even if you are looking there, why would you have a count going?

3. When do you think the count is supposed to start?

I was under the impression he was going off of the game clock.

Because she was the referee

I suspect her real reason was she was trying to gain favor since she worked in a feeder jr high just down the street. That's another ethical issue.

Watch him explain it to the coach. He's telling him that he judged the ball to be at their disposal when it was bouncing under the basket and the two girls were just looking at each other to see who would pick it up.

The actual details of what was discussed are hidden somewhere in the forum. I can't think of a good keyword to do an effective search for it.

I'm thinking there's someone following this thread who could give intimate details of the evening's events.

Sorry if this had been posted before, but I've been following this forum for a couple years and I've never seen it. If one of these guys is actually a forum member and could provide insight on this, that would just be amazing. I watch a bunch of officiating videos on youtube, but not too many make me say "What the xxxx" out loud. This one did.

It has been posted before. It has been posted a couple of times just this year. And yes there is a person on this forum that was on this game. And we have a similar reaction every single time we see this posted. No harm on your part.

Peace

For many of us, here, on the forum, this video was in the back of our mind during the recent thread that discussed when the ball is "at the disposal" of the team.
Early last season, in our area, we received a statement telling us that we needed to start the 5-second count when the ball was "at the disposal" of the probable thrower-in. And we were told not to wait until he/she had the ball in hand, out-of-bounds.
I just couldn't do it - with such disregard for the realities involved, such as in this video, when the 2 players took a short moment to decide which would be the thrower.
I did have a few partners who started the count extremely quickly/early, in my estimation, and I just had to bear with it.
Now, to the actions of the new Lead, in the video . . . I'm really able to be calm, on the floor, but this would have been a supreme test of my self-control, at the moment, and in the lockerroom!!!
I've never blocked a partner, but this guy would've been the first!

I've never seen this. I really believe I would go to the guy and tell him he has no business calling this, it isn't his responsibility to call this. I would then call both coaches together and tell them we have an inadvertent whistle and continue from there. I would then call my supervisor immediately after the game. There is absolutely no reason for the trail to get involved with this play.
