Close enough, and also at a better angle. The trail is behind where there's no way to tell the relationship between the Keds and the line.

Rodego -- One thing you can do next time, is to quickly discuss possibilities during the time out. You KNOW B is going to try for a 3. You discuss with partner, let's be sure we make eye-contact, be sure the feet are right, watch the shooter all the way back to the floor, and so on. It never hurts to agree ahead of time to make eye contact BEFORE the call so that you don't have to wave something off.

By the way, snaps to your partner for taking your word for it, and not letting his ego get in the way.
