But the parts of your situations that are most telling are that both scenarois you claim are right in front of your partner. Your veteran partner. So since you didn't like my answer, what would you do? What did you do? How did your partner react?

I didn't think I had to say what level it was as basketball is basketball. Sure there are different rules, floor mechanics & signals, but basketball is basketball. Why not position adjust the way the best do it? Why not have the team officiating concept & mentality like the best do?
It wasn't that I didn't like your answer. Actually I did what you said & let him live/die with those. But I felt quite bad when the defensive team in both instances came to me with "you know you saw that, help him out."
If it were a gammer, I would've made it right.
If my partner was of equal or less experience, then I would've made it right.
I did ask my partner at the next break, why it wasn't a travel? He said because the ball slipped out of his hands... I knew that wasn't true but decided to leave it alone. I didn't even ask him about the second sitch

~Ahhh~ I didn't mean it like that Smitty, just explaining the different thought process from level to level & why I think the higher ups do it best!
Hardly impressed with myself Smitty, for I am just a mere HS official myself. The only time I get a sniff of college or pro ball is the summer & I'll be damned if the summer isn't almost over
Well just like the Bronco fans say, there's always next year!
