I don't agree with going to your partner with this information. I don't agree with using the arrow in the wrong way. Just as I typed that last sentence I'm realizing that it might not have been using it wrong - but the wrong call (traveling) was made. What if the coach would have went nuts and said, "Nobody called a jump ball, a travel was called?" I mean what would you have done if the coach would have really went off about what was done when you didn't call jump ball?

I do not have a definitive answer for you. I just know that neither coach made an issue out of this other than when the call was initially made. Also both coaches knew all of us and I have personally had both coaches more than once last year and this year I even had the home coach during a tournament (I T'd him up as well). So it was not like these coaches did not know something about us and maybe that is why they were accepting of the call when it took place. I really do not have a definitive answer either way, just speculation.

This is also something I cannot answer. I do know he asked us about the conversation and we were candid about what we talked about. I even made sure that I let our assignor know (who was a Big Ten Official much earlier in his career and we all work college basketball for) I was the person that insisted on the Jump Ball option even though I did not make a signal. Our assignor did not make any negative comments about this in any way. He just wanted to know what we talked about. He did make some other comments about each of us, but it had nothing to do with this situation in any way.
