Last year, a situation happened that has bothered me. Time was winding down in the 2nd quarter of a girls varsity game. We were a 3 man crew and I was the trail tableside. In our chapter we teach the C has the final shot responsibilities. The C was directly behind the girl as she set up for a 3 point shot. The ball was passed to her from my area and she shot. I am 150% sure that she released after the horn, but for some reason the C did not wave it off and instead held the three finger sign for a 3 point attempt. Fortunately, the shot missed. As I walked by the coach, she commented that my partner was going to count it. Everyone in gym (almost everyone) knew the shot was released late. When we got in the locker room we discussed the play and the C said that under no circumstances was I to "buy my way into that call." This ref has more experience than I, but I would think we would want to get the call right in this case. Your opinions please.
