I had one last weekend. I was Trail and the Lead official blew the whistle for an OOB on his sideline. The ball was traveling away from Lead and since I was properly watching my area, I saw the touch by team A. He called it the way he saw it. I came in and asked him if he wanted any other information. Wisely, he asked me if it was off team A. I told him it was, so he signaled in the other direction. Parents started to yell and the Team A coach said, "get back on D, it was a good call."
Regardless of what A-coach or A-parents said, we got it right and handled it right.
