I once had a partner that temporarily left the floor while the ball was live.

He did not get sick, the game was in the practice gym and there were rolled up wrestling mats on one end of the floor near the corner.

Semi-break they pulled it back out and set up their offense, as the ball swings back to the top I don't see my partner. I look a bit closer and just see some feet wiggling from behind the mat.

My dilemma was blow my whistle and help my partner, but by doing so call attention to his mishap, or let him get himself free.

I waited and he got out before a shot went up.
You can't be serious! Did you really just see his feet wiggling?
Yes.

The mats started about half way between the lane line and the arch, right where leads supposed to set up. I had bumped them earlier in the game, but this time the ball was coming fast up his side, so he was wider and running.

I was giving him until the ball changed possession to get himself free, no trail on the other end would have been a bit obvious.
