tie ball game, 14 sec. in the game. kansas vs duke
you are lead table side, ted valentine is trail, and john clougherty is slot.
kansas' best player is handling the ball and attempts a drive to the basket from between you and ted valentine clearly on strong side of the court. as he picks up his dribble he takes 2 steps and has the ball low in his mid section with both hands. the play develops and rolls to where you have a clear angle on the play. shane boozer(duke) swings up and hits the ball loose but the kansas player regains control high in his chest area. jon clougherty blows his whistle and calls a travel.
what would you do in this scenario?
be serious with your answer, and put some thought into it.

I think you're asking this:
C calls a travel on A1 but L clearly saw the ball was batted
loose by B1 before the violation. The play was solidly in the L's area. What should the L do?
Serious, thoughtful answer:
Earlier this season I had a similar situation and I did not
correct it, or even question it until later in the locker
room. I like to think next time this happens I would huddle
with my partner and discuss immediately. I suspect my
partner would tell me that he saw the travel clearly and the
call would stand as is 99 out of 100 times.
