Over-ruling 3-pointers, revisited...

If anybody ever tried to pre-game that one with me, I'd tell 'em to go find another partner. Homey don't play dat game!
Was cleaning out my officiating binder and came across the NFHS Basketball Guide '05-06. On page 11 is an article titled Changing the Cal on a Three-Point Attempt. A few quotes:
  • "The correcting official should stop the clock, signal a two-point attempt (point to the spot of the shot with arm and two fingers extended, then signal two points at about head height to the scorer) and simultaneously verbalize that the shooter's foot was on or over the three-point arc."
  • "There's no need to huddle together with your partner(s) to confer. If you clearly saw the play, there's nothing to talk about. Getting together adds confusion..."
  • "Discuss changing successful three-point field goals in your pregame conference with your partner(s)."
