I believe that exceptional officials tend to chew bubble gum & walk at the same time, while decent/good officials just chew bubble gum.
I certainly understand what you're saying. But this is similar (to me) to me being lead in the frontcourt and player A1 makes a pass from my primary back out to a teammate behind the 3 point line and the pass appears to me to be untouched as it goes into the backcourt where it is picked up by A2. I am 99% sure no one has touched it, but my partner does not call a backcourt violation. Am I going to blow my whistle from lead? No. This is the same kind of play to me. I may be convinced otherwise if there is more argument, but I just don't feel comfortable making this call from C or new L (2-man).
