I might have killed the play at that point and re-administered the throw in after quietly reminding A2 he's standing in the wrong place.

In the 1st half of the 1st game I had to make 2 long distance calls from the trail: held ball on a blocked shot in the paint and an obvious hack across the arm on a transition play. At halftime my partner (NCAA-W: D1, D2, & D3) thanked me for coming to get the calls b/c she forgot we were doing 2-man and said she was waiting for the Slot Official to blow the whistle.

Good way to handle it.

I did make a couple travel calls that I wish I could see some film on to see if I got them right. I also guessed once on a foul call (2nd game) in which a A1 went up for a dunk (jumped off 2 feet), missed, then ended up landing on his back. I didn't see a push, but called one on B1 who was directly behind A1 when A1 jumped. B1 didn't say a word nor even make a funny face after I blew the whistle so I think I guessed right. The game was a blow-out and very physical so I wanted to err on the side of caution.

2 person games you sometimes have to guess. It's part of the deal.
