I had a partner keep me from looking like a complete boob two years ago. Girls V Tourny, first game of the day (8:00 am). I'm trail, white ball...I hear "Time out" from area of white bench, look over and see the coach making the 30 sec TO sign. I blow my whistle and then notice the ball has been stolen.
As you can imagine the home coach is letting me know, in a suprisingly calm way, that it was their ball. My partner walks up and tells him he heard the request as well, while white had the ball. He even noticed me visually verify it and that my hand went up before my whistle. Clearly I was granting the TO before the steal. He ended by saying "Coach, we are all a little sluggish out there right now. Why don't we cut him some slack."
Coach looks at me, smiles and says "If I was fully awake I would really give you a hard time...how about speeding up that whistle"
It is great to have a partner when you have a brain fa**.
