I had a MS Girls playoff game that I called one bad foul early in the first, could not shake and never got in sync with the game. Both coaches were not happy. The crowd was complaining and going crazy.

In the 4th quarter, a pass/shot went from the lane line near me across the court. I had a shot that was blocked, but my partner called it for B ball OOB on the sideline. I go to him tell him I had a blocked shot. He says your call. I then make the call pointing the other way. (Which I know that he should be the one to change the call, but it is a 2nd year official I am working with.)
After the game, another official from our association told me that I screwed the pooch. The player who got the ball on the sideline had stepped out trying to save it (which I didn't see a player touch it on the sideline). My P never told me this, he just said, "its your call".

The game was a one possession win for the visitors and I felt after that game that I cost the home team the game, but in the end they had 6 shots to try to tie the game in 20 seconds and couldn't make any of them. I finally shook that feeling later that night knowing that I didn't cost them the game. The better team did win in the end that night.

I was glad I had a game the next night to get this one off my back.
