I can understand you hearing your partner's whistle and knowing that the try had been released at that time, but if you didn't see the foul and if the whistle lagged the foul a fair bit, there is no way that you could know for sure the location of the ball at the time of the foul. The ball could have still been in A1's hands at the time of the foul, but he then released it before the whistle was sounded by your partner. If that was the case, you guys did not get the play correct.

judgement call, Nevada? Josh and his partner had to determine whether to count the basket or not by using the best information that they had available. They got together and did that. End of story! Of course, there was a chance that they might have been wrong,but they still had to make a call, one way or the other, didn't they? That wasn't the point of Josh's post anyway. The point was to confirm whether they were right to allow Team B to run the end line after they counted the basket. They got that ruling right, which was a good call on their part.
The point that you and Mark are trying to make might be useful as an adjunct to the call that actually made, but it's only really relevant as a "what if".
