was very close to dual area. I would disagree about letting the ball go because the other official might not be watching the ball, he is usually watching off ball until he realizes that the ball is in his area. I really do not know what was going on off ball, because I had players making moves up top. According to the stated mechanics, anything above FT line extended is the trails call. And that is what we had discussed in the pregame. But that is why there is a need to get rid of 2 person almost all together ad go to 3. This more than likely would have never been a problem in a 3 person game. The players are getting too fast and strong to use two officials for a game that had probably several D1 prospects on the floor.

From your description, the call was made on players outside
the paint, foul line extended on the opposite side from
the trail(you) coming at the lead.
If you were in your position near your sideline it sounds
like you followed the play too long.
I usually let the play go once the ball has moved past
the top of the key down towards the lead and concentrate on
the players on my side in case of a quick cut to the middle
and a pass.
However,I dont see how there could have been a block call
when you plainly saw the dribbler push off.
Oh well, good luck in the season.
