As Trail you need to leave this alone. It is lead's call, unless for sure you know there is a blocked shot in there that you partner completely missed.

As Lead I recommend to all do not glance at your partner unless you really need the help.

Dont look and then go with your best guess. There is nothing wrong with talking to your partner- the goal is to get this right. As Lead blow your whistle. Look at your partner and ask them... Did Blue touch the ball? If they say yes, then you learn for sure what happens. If they say no you know what happened? As Trail I will answer Yes, no, or I did not see it... If my partner asks I did not see it, then I either give a color or go up with a jump.

This needs to bee pregamed. Some refs dont like it this way. There is nothing wrong with communicating in the open there. If you glance and then you go with a signal a coach will chew on you for guessing. If you glance at me I figure you do not know and I will signal...
