I go to my veteran partner. "Partner I have a jump ball and then a push on B1. He kind of scratches his whiskers like I had asked him who played 3rd base for the '67 Detroit Tigers.

We end up reversing the arrow and have a personal foul on B1. Ball given to Team A for inbounds.

I know in the back of my head that I've screwed this up. Of course no one in the gym for this freshman girls game knows any better. It takes about 2 minutes for me to realize what we should have done.

At least I went to my partner and we caucused (unlike another recent play I kicked).

I hope I don't have to kick each call in a "new" situation once in order to learn them enough to respond properly immediately in the future.

Don't worry, we're here to help make sure that doesn't happen. Just keep reading this forum.

Well, I don't think that we need to incarcerate him for his mistake.
