Second, If you dont see ball and ask partner for help.. Partner should not shake his head- Partner should go up with it... Its quick and immediate and tells everybody neither one of you have it...

I really don't like this, Kelvin, b/c sometimes I will look to my partner to see if there was a partial block or tip. I know that the shot was an airball and went straight OOB, for example. But b/c the shot came from out of my primary, I'm not sure if B1 got a finger on it. So I'm not looking for a call. I'm looking for confirmation. So I don't want the "thumbs up". If you can't give me confirmation, just tell me that, and
I'll go thumbs up. Just my preference, I guess. [/B][/QUOTE]
Chuck no arguments on the tipped airball. I think too often though we officials rely on body language and coaches get confused. If it is an airball and I'm lead and it goes OOB and I have a question on if it is tipped or not I will blow the whistle and ask verbally " was it tipped"? If my partner says no I have the call, If my partner says yes I have the call. If I look for help because I have no idea, I would just as soon use previously described mechanic..
