Also, as the lead, I once thought I was allowing a player to run the endline after an opponent's made basket. The inbounder looked at me kind of funny but then proceeded to inbound the ball. My partner then sounded his whistle and informed me that the ball didn't go in the basket, but had been an airball that had pushed aside the net before going out bounds.

While both situations embarrassed me, I was kind of pleased that I kept my eyes down on both plays.
