Had a boy's JV game this morning.

I'm L in the 3rd quarter, Team A has the ball out on top. There's action in the lane that I'm watching, when I hear my partner hit his whistle. He's got a fist up for a foul. I could tell there was something amiss because the crowd reacted with ooh's and ahh's. My partner walks toward the table, and Coach A is pleading for a flagrant foul.

My partner calls me over to get my opinion, and since I didn't see the play in question, I had no opinion on the play. I asked him what he saw, and he said B1 moved his closed fist towards A1's face while A1 wasn't looking and made contact. I know it sounds like a punch, but since I didn't see the play, and my partner never once used the word punch, I won't call it a punch.

I told him that this was his call, and based on what he described I had no problem with a flagrant foul. I would have had no problem with an intentional foul either, but my partner thought it was flagrant, so that's what we went with.

I've called the assignor, even though I wasn't the one who called a foul. My partner was heading over to some more games right after, so I thought I should call ASAP.

This is the first time I've had a DQ over anything but 5 personal fouls. I know there's some sort of special report that needs to be filled out, which is where I'm asking for help from the Illinois guys. Do I need to do it (I was the R on the game), or does my partner?
