It is hard to tell because you seem to be talking around the issue; did you have the jumpers lined up the wrong way or not? If so, I can't understand why you jumped again to fix your - and your partner's - mistake. If you (both of you) let them line up the wrong way and white violated, it should be a violation and the other team should get the ball.

A few things jump out at me that put a ? in my head and makes me think you might want to take your head out of the book and get a feel for the game.

1. How can the non-jumpers be lined up improperly? You mentioned "If only the jumpers were lined up improperly?" I thought only the jumpers had a proper way to be lined up.
2. You mentioned your partner's back court and carry signals looked alike. Is there really a difference? The back court/carry signal is one of the signals I hate (block is the other one) as a man, but I thought those were the same signal. How would they be different? Depending on the gym, this is one area where I feel officials should use their voice; too many officials are too quiet IMO.
