I'm Lead tableside (then new Trail) Two whistle.
From the end line I see:
B1 bringing the ball to division line. (Trail is following opposite); A1 steals the ball right in front of Coach B. (Could be some contact.)
A1 dribbles right and gets a slight forearm from B1 as she beats B1 (still in front of Coach B). (Could be enough contact. Where's my Center?)
A1 continues down the right and loses ball out-of-bounds off B2. A ball. (Now, I am in front of Coach B)
Coach B: "Did you see that contact?!!!"
"Your girl! I saw your player use a forearm."
Coach B: "No before that?!!!"
"That's not my call from the end line."
I shoulda/coulda said ...what?

Is this play even remotely close to your area? I'll tell you where C was, with 4 eyes on 2 players, he was covering your @$$es.
If you are watching your area, the exchange with the coach becomes much easier..."I was watching other players."

Not that Mick needs me to defend him but if you reread his
post you'll see he was calling a 2 man game, so there was
no C. In this sitch - a quick ball reversal -it's not
uncommon to have 4 eyes on the ball, especially in 2 man.
As L Mick did have sideline responsibility. But I'll have
to ask Mick if there was pressure on B1 bringing the ball
into her front court why were you standing down by the
endline? (Some might ask in a more colorful manner, right Chuck?
)

Eli is right--never utter the word's, "its not my call", unless you want the coach all over you for the rest of your career.

Agree. I have basically 2 responses for this sort of thing:
"Didn't see it."
"From what I saw he got it right."
The one I use depends on the situation & how I feel like answering.
