JR,
You're right about the endline aspect, of course, and I'll agree that Josh and his partner had to make the best call with what they had. We all have to do this, these are the calls that they pay us to make.
I'm only trying to probe a little deeper into his statement above. When he said that the ball already left the shooter's hand, it made me wonder two things.
1. did he mean the ball had left before the foul occurred or before he heard the whistle?
2. on what was he basing this statement? His actual sight of the foul or upon hearing his partner's whistle to call it.
I think it is a tough call, especially in two-man, and I merely was trying to find out exactly what he meant by the above statement, and possibly give him something to think about if a similar situation comes up again.
