I'm a rookie ref who recently worked a JV game with an experienced ref who is coming back to bball after a 10 year hiatus.

At a recent game my partner called quite a few charges and illegal offensive screens. He called for free throws, which I administered. The coach was questioning my partner during the game.

The next day, and experienced ref who happened to be watching the game called me and said the penalty rule of player control and illegal offensive screens has changed, and foul shots should not have been taken.

Guidance?
Get into the rules book. Know the rules. Look up definitions, study case plays. Then you will know what is correct.

Now, how to deal with returning veteran who does not have an understanding of the rules? This is where you will find great advice and guidance.
