What is a better way to handle this?
Easy, Ray. It's a no-call, and then if anyone complains, you say, "they didn't have control in the front court."
The heart of the problem is that I don't know if they had control or not. If they got control and it was an errant skip pass, then I'm screwed. If they didn't have control, I'm okay. But I just don't know.
