I am a fan of getting it right, but I am also a fan of the rules. If you ask anyone beside the game/table officials you are operating outside the rules and you still don't know whether you got it right or not. You only know what someone who has no responsibility for the game thinks, even if it is someone you trust. Would you ask this same person if the ball hit the OOB line in a close play that you didn't get a good look at? I also don't think you can say I/we got it right when you go outside the rules. It is not the usual situation where you might be accused of a "make-up" call but it is none the less. "Sorry coach I missed that, but I'll do this for you." Whether you say the words or not, that is what you have done.

Bart, to use your words, If you see ball go throw the net...basket, if you don't...no basket.
