You Make the Call

Hello all. New to forum, not new to officiaiting. Had a situation occur last week during GV game, with three person officiating crew.

Two of the three are fairly established officials and the third is relatively new to the varsity level.

Game is flowing smootly, coaches were great, fans were actually pretty good too. Home team is leading late in the game with no way for the visiting team to catch up and win, pretty obvious. So, we get through almost the entire game when Tweet, young official calls a foul. Foul is against visiting team, home team to the line for 1 and 1. There are 22 seconds left on the clock in the 4th period. Home team misses first free throw, visiting team gets possession and starts heading down the floor.

Home team coach becomes slightly animated, yelling "He called two shots". Other established official blows the whistle to start conversation with coach. He calls younger official (the one who called the foul originally) over to discuss. After a short conversation, I walk over to find out what is going on. It was determined that the younger official did report the original foul as a two shot but admitted during the official conference that it was indeed a mistake on his part was really a 1 and 1, which we all though in the first place.

I know what I would have done and I know what was done. What is your call, how do you handle the situation.

I'll report back on the actual conclusion.
