Juulie, obviously, this is something that you'll cover in pre-game from now on, isn't it? When I'm R, the Trail has the whole backcourt in transition. Once the ball has reached the frontcourt, we revert to normal coverages; which means the Lead has his/her sideline all the way to the far endline. It's just something you'll need to talk about beforehand. And if you don't get to talk beforehand, then I would err on the side of "by the book"; which, in this case, means that you would've left it alone.

Should I have not called this?

Probably not. But what're ya gonna do?

I mean, I could have at least checked with my partner, but SHOULD I have?

I think your role in this situation is one of support. Your partner has first crack at it. If you're sure it's OOB, and he didn't grab it, then fine. Put a whistle on it. But you should probably be the second one in on that OOB call. (The backcourt possibility is another story, of course. That's yours all the way.)

2. Could partner have run in and given me the chance to correct? What would the correction be? an inadvertant whistle? I guess not...
Of course he could've. But as you note, it would not have been an easy fix. Maybe he thought that it was better for the game to move on.

That's 5 cents, please.
