You seem to have issues with accountability and having your calls corrected. I have never suggested that your partner should blow the whistle and say, "No, idiot boy, there was a travel before the blocking call. Wake up and watch me make the right call."
[/B][/QUOTE]Oh, you wouldn't suggest that, eh? Was it another Windy City Blue that stated the following?-
"You claim that basketball officials never
overrule a bad call. You said that includes FED and NCAA. I pointed out one very specific occassion where it occurred in the NCAA tournament last year.... Now you say that it wasn't
overruled. The other official came in and gave another perspective indicating the call was incorrect. Then the calling official changed the call, but it was NOT
overruled. When one official makes a bad call and another confers with him(maybe it takes seconds, maybe longer) to contradict the call, and it is changed, it has been
overruled. A ruling was made, and it was turned over...thus
OVERRULED.
Here's the link for your words above, Windy:

Here's the applicable NCAA rules- once again, Windy:
NCAA rule 2-2-3--
"No official shall have the authority to set aside or question decisions made by other official(s) within the limits of their respective duties".
NCAA rule 2-2-4--
"One official may assist another official by providing additional information related to a made decision".
Now, tell me again, Windy, how can one official -by rule- OVERRULE another official's call, if that official doesn't want to change that call?
