If I have knowledge I am coming to my partners and giving the info to him. I did this on an out of bounds call this weekend. Nothing different here. Just trying to get the plays right. No egos. Because there might be a day when that same guy that I helped out will come and save my day when I goof something up or didn't see a play completely from start to finish.
I had a charge with 39 seconds left in a college game this weekend. The charge went against the team down 5 points. I would hope that if my partners thought that the ball was released they would have come to me and say hey I am 100% sure the ball was released and I will take responsibility for the play. However, I was lucky (or maybe even good enough) on this play and got it correct. But if I wasn't I hope they would step up and say we better score the basket and call a push and go to the other end and shoot the penalty if needed.
See the Kobe Bryant buzzer beater earlier last week. The two officials in lead and trail were on the ball side. The slot official away from the play came over and added information by saying I am totally 1000% sure it was still in Kobe's hands (in this case fingertips) and the shot is no good. Great team work officiating that applies to this particular thread.
