How about this one. As some of you know, I am a new official (second season). My first opportunity to "advance" earlier this season came at a High School JV girls' game. Just before half time (I'm trail) there's a last-second-buzzer shot...I signal a successful 3-point shot. The coach for the opposing team goes nuts stating that she didn't get it off in time. When my partner comes across the floor, the coach asks him "What did you think about that?". My partner replies (sort of wincing with his face) "Not my call coach". Was that adequate to back me up? How could he have better responded? I need to know because surely I will be in his position down-the-line and be posed with the same question.
Thanks,
Becky
