I had one last season where I was lead with about four players under the basket and my partner signaled a good three. I just saw the net move in my periphery. The opposing coach claimed it did not go in. At the next dead ball, I went to my partner and asked him what he saw. He said it went in. We moved on. At halftime, one of the varsity crew said it did NOT go in and the RIGHT thing to do would be to take away the points. I told him I couldn't do that because the time had passed. We did go to the table at half and asked them what they saw. The scorer said it did not go in and my partner, who we will call "GIGDGO", said he was not impartial. Fortunately, it was not a close game at the end and the extra 3 points for the visitors meant losing by 17 instead of 20. I did let my partner know that we could ask for help from the table and that they were on our team. What we could do with that information was up to us. Of course, it was too late to do anything about it, and all we would have been able to do was to let the home coach know we missed the call.
