Team A has the ball in their frontcourt. Team A mishandles the ball and a scramble for the ball has players flying all over the place like it is a fumble in football. Well the T calls an over and back after the scramble on A. The T thought he saw B1 gain possession on the court in the backcourt, scooting the ball to B2 that was in the frontcourt, then B2 steps back on the division line, which would have made this an over and back. But looking at tape, we realized that the T was kind of screened to the play, and the C had a better look. The T came in a sold the call very well, but the C had a better look at the play. The C thought that the call was wrong but did not say anything. Also looking on the tape we figured out that B1 never had possession of the ball as it appeared to the T on the court. He blew the call and there was no question about that.

If this had happen to you, what would you do if you were the C? And what would you do if you were the T?

rut,
(slot)depending on time of game and situation of game would depend on me coming to my partner. if this were the first quarter, or a 20 pt blowout-no i would not come to my partner because this is not a game saving situation. if this were late in the 4th quarter in a tight game, i would definately come to my partner and try to get the play correct. this is just my thought on the process because overturning my partner on a judgement(control of ball) in the early stages of the game, when everyone bought the play, seems to me that it would do more harm than good.

(trail)i would change my call without question if the slot came to me to add info and took full resposibility for the play, at any point in the game. if he came to me without confidence and said "well, i think it may not have been control and da da da." i would say no thankyou we are sticking with what i got. but if he cmae to me and said "tony, im 100% sure he did not have possession" i would not think twice about it.

this is what i strive for
