When Half Right Is 100% Right ...

If you know for sure it went off Blue, but are a little confused about the direction, just put your hand up to stop the clock and yell "White". Look over at the benches, figure out if it's the first or second half, and then give the direction.

In a half court set, if all you know for sure is that it went off the offensive team, but are a little confused about which color is the defensive team, just put your hand up to stop the clock and point downcourt. Look over at the benches, figure out if it's the first or second half, and then give the proper color.

Look over at the benches, figure out if it's the first or second half, and then give the proper color.

In the last two cases, you may want to yell, "That way", or, "Stay here", but many evaluators may discourage this, and so, "When in Rome ...".
