Of course, that all goes down the toilet if I'm the lead (
Mutt) and I don't see the ball go in my peripheral vision, and my partner (
Jeff) doesn't realize that I didn't see the ball go in (or doesn't bother to look for it).
Worked with a rookie this past season who didn't know if the ball was inflated or stuffed. I made it all the way to the reporting area having no idea that the ball went in. Of course I didn't count the basket and reported two free throws.
Offended coach yelled, "Why didn't the basket count?". Went back to my partner, "Did the ball go in the basket?". Partner replied "I don't know". Went back to the table, asked them, and they replied that the ball went in.
If there had been a hole in the court, I would have crawled into it.
