The home team is in a tight 2-3 zone. The guard on the visiting team has a little defensive pressure on him. He is dribbling the ball and falls down, but continues to dribble the ball. He continues to dribble and gets up and continues to dribble. The 'T' calls a travel. Looking through the players I see everything. My partner is inexperienced. I go up to him and ask him can you travel while dribbling the ball. He says no. Then it hits him, he knows he made the wrong call. I told him I will let him change his call. The home coach is yelling that it is not a correctable error.

No, it’s not a correctable error. But that’s not relevant until the ball is put into play after the call.

The visiting coach comes up to me and my partner and tells us that we showed a lots of integrity and guts for making the call right. Most guys would have let it gone he says. I thanked him for his comments. As we are getting into the car, parents of the home team tell us that we screwed their kids over. I have been told to make it right when it is wrong! I know we did the right thing.

Yes, you did the right thing. Good job getting the call right.
