1. You are the Lead Official and your partner is watching the ball handler. The ball handler "carries" the ball about near the division line. Do you call this as the Lead official?
|
NO!!!!!

2. You are the trail official and the ball goes out right in front of the Lead official, do you blow the whistle and signal as the trail official?
|
NO! Unless your partner doesn't blow his whistle. 99.9% of the time you wouldn't have a whistle. You could give help info if needed. Lead might have been officiating a match up in the paint and the ball might have went out behind him/her. Trail more then likley would be referring this play, but would wait for L to have a whistle and then give help if needed.

3. There is a throw-in and your partner is administering the throw-in. The thrower moves a little to the side and in your opinion the player violated the designated spot; do you call the violation that your partner missed?
|
NO!! If you did then you would be ball watching.

Are these game saving calls?
|
Not ever unless it was a tie ball game and lead was about to give the ball to the wrong team with a few seconds left in the game. But generally no they aren't game savers.
