He just couldn't help himself...my post was directed directly to another member. It specifically addressed a point that he made and found error with it. Rut then jumps in without seeing how deep it is.

The calling official, changed the call.

Wow, just like baseball, when your partner confers with you and says that the ball hit the foul pole or that the fielder was off the bag on a force play.

Unlike baseball, basketball officials coverage areas are constantly changing. The ball is in constant movement.
Hmmm...in baseball, the ball remains still? There are no other worries (interference, obstruction, missed bases, bobbled catches)?

There are times when a specific official does not see the entire play.
Yes, like in the baseball discussion we have had here.

I did not see exactly the play you discribe, but I am sure the out of bounds play that you discribe, was the non-calling official giving information.
Okay, kind of like a pulled foot, fould ball off the batter's foot, foul pole call, etc.

And in basketball, that is totally acceptable on mainly out of bound calls. You cannot do that on foul calls. You cannot tell your partner about a traveling violation. You can mainly do that on out of bounds plays.

Okay, your point is...? I don't believe that I ever said that EVERY CALL can and should be over ruled. I said that if your partner comes to you and says that he saw something different, you should do the right thing and correct the call. He has put himself in a position to help, not big league you.

In baseball, I have nothing else to do but watch a particular base. There are only so many runners at one time. The ball determines what is going to happen, unlike basketball. If I cannot get an angle on a pulled foot, I am not taking my time to make most calls.
Six guys - the best of the best - in the NLCS at Wrigley last year. 12 eyes and no one sees the ball caught by Kenny Lofton. As I recall, each guy only has one responsibility and not much else was happening. But you're probably more talented, that is why you don't need help.

I also find it funny that now you want to tell basketball officials of their procedures and practices.

I didn't say anything of the sort. I pointed out a play in direct response to a statement saying that such doesn't happen. No mechanics or techniques discussed. Or did you miss that, too?

See in basketball we have a locker room. If you pull that "get it right crap" on plays they see, you might not come out of that locker room with out an earfull.
Uh oh, you mean you guys might yell at me for critiquing my partner's performance??? That's awfully thin skinned of you cagers. I like having my partners discuss the job we did, usually over a beer. We get better that way. Too bad, you don't want people to pick at your game.
