For every call there is an example of a coach's
narrow-mindedness. (scientific term) Years ago, 8th grade games, my partner doesn't show up, so the varsity coach calls the games with me. Ball goes out of bounds on his side of the court. No call. I point at him. He shrugs. I, without hesitation, point and signal visitors ball. Home coach: "What? You can't call that! If you're not sure you have to go to the arrow."
We discussed it later and I told him that I was "pretty sure" but it was right in front of my partner so I gave him first shot at it.
The question is if I signal home's ball does the coach say one word? duh
