The other night was working a JV Championship game. It was close the whole way. Three man crew, I was the R. Late in the fourth quarter. There was a crucial call. I was the C, partner at T counting in the backcourt signals a 10 sec violation and is preparing to give the ball to the other team. My other partner, at the L, runs up and says he has a time out on the bench. The partner at L never blew his whistle that either my partner nor myself heard, he said he blew it. The L and the T confer and award the time-out. The visiting fans and coach go nuts. I am across the courtas the C, and I am the referee, should I have stepped in and assisted with the decision. I wasn't sure what to do so I held my post since I had the only eyes on the court. Could someone let me know if as the R, should I have had a more dominant role in that decision. Just wondering....
Hope it's not too confusing!
