How did the coaches react or were they not paying attention?
Great question. I was paying attention. She was questioning the call. We both knew that the call was wrong, but she did not go ballistic. Earlier in the game she asked if my partner was a first year official and I told her I did not know. (After all I am only in my second!) I did hear a lot of "Can you help your partner out?" from both benches. What I did do was on the next possession was to make a 3 second call on Team B. Team A coach gave me a "Thank You" and Team B coach just smiled. I HATE, and rarely if ever, have a "Make - Up" call, but that was the only way I could think of to keep the situation under control. Probably not the best solution, but the only one I could think of on the fly/
