I was the trail in a two-whistle JV game. The ball popped out towards the division line with me 5 feet from the ball and the play. The ball bounced and was then in the air before attaining backcourt status, and , you guessed it...whistle from the endline for over-and-back. On top of it all, the ball had not yet come down in the backcourt, let alone be touched there. Awful! I then went to "chat" with my partner, told him that it was not an over-and-back violation and then we went to the AP arrow. It was an interesting sales job to the coaches.

I have a question about this play. Let me first assume that Team A had control of the ball in its front court and that at the time your partner sounded his whistle Team A still had control of the ball even though there was no player control by any player on Team A. If that is the case, why did you go to the AP Arrow for the re-start?
