Partner tweets, hesitates and points as to call GT. He then wants to come to me and talk it over, I tell him as he steps toward me, its your call sell it. Later that half, I'm lead in a half court set, partner misses a obvious BI by the offense.
Question:
Partner had never called at this level of basketball, I know these are judgement calls the trail should have, would you guys of stepped in and corrected the GT and also would you of called the BI from the lead position?
THANKS

As a 1st year guy trying to climb the ladder and learning from vets both on the floor and here in the forum. I know how lucky I was the night this season when I was finally able to "move up a level" to work my first JV game with a vet who told me in pre-game "don't worry about anything I've got your back if anything happens." Can't remember
how many I probably kicked that night, but this vet made me feel good (and gave me confidence) about the things I did right....as did the two V refs who had the next game and saw part of ours. Both my P and the V guys gave me constructive criticism and pointed out what I needed to work on moving forward. My P that night never gave me the feeling that I was a burden to HIS game or that he'd hang me out to dry if the crap hit the fan. BTW while I don't personally know any of the regular vets on this forum (who are generous with thier help and advice to newbies) I know that if I had the opportunity to take the court with any of them they'd treat me the same way...they'd back me on the floor and help me understand at 1/2 time or post game why I may have kicked a call...and what I need to work on to get it right the next time.
