He hands the ball to a player in red and I hesitate. That doesn't seem right. Red throws the ball in and I'm still thinking that it should be white ball. I'm 90% sure, but don't want to blow my whistle yet... and then I'm 100% sure so I blow my whistle as red crosses half court. We correctly give the ball back to white. My partner was more red than the jersey of the visiting team.

Two questions, Z...
1) How does this relate to the original post?
2) Did you really call the ball back because you'd given it to the wrong team? That's not according to Hoyle...
