That was a topic with my partner afterwards. I am not sure what else I could have done. I blew the whistle, pointed at the fouler (?) and yelled WHITE Ball on the side. Re stated it to my partner, reported it to the table very loudly and took my position on the baseline the direction the home team was going. Any pointers would be nice because I agree there was a communication problem, just not sure if it was his or mine.
telling a coach he is out of timeouts, for instance
I got jumped by a partner for doing that during girls season. He said "That is what they have assistant coaches for. WHat would happen if they did not have a time out and you said, or they thought they heard you say, they had one."

1)When you tell your partner what's going on,make sure that you make eye contact with him and he understands your call.Just take your time on the whole process.
2)It is a rule that you,as an official,must inform a team and it's coach when it has used it's last timeout.It is mandatory under R2-11-6 for the scorer to inform you,and for you to then inform the team.If they request a TO after that,you have to grant it to them,along with the accompanying T. Please do not let this thread degenerate like the one on the other board!
