ex. I was calling a game on sat, and b1 comes up to a1 and goes for the ball to force a jump ball. In my mind I anticipated that and called the jump ball. I should have waited the split second cause b1 just after my whitsle rolled up on top of a1 trying to wrestle the ball away. Clearly a foul, but.. I had already called jump ball too early. I called it on contact not pos.
What is too early? If you're talking about a split second, change the call. You have never started to make the wrong signal and had to change it?
Not that big a deal. Better to change to the right signal than to stick with the wrong call.
