Fishing in Partner's T-Pond?
Boys varsity. Pretty physical game. I'm trail opposite table. My partner calls a foul on a shot right in front of him. B1, presumably upset b/c he thought it was a clean blocked shot, picks up the ball and throws it backwards over his shoulder, up and over the basket. They were about 4 feet outside the paint. (So it was more than just a casual flip.)
My first thought is, Geez that's a technical. I didn't know if my partner saw the kid do it. But then I notice my partner say something to B1 as he goes to report the common foul.
So at this point I figure he saw it and passed on it. I asked him at the next break and he said, Yeah he saw it but he just wanted to talk to the kid.
But it got me wondering: Should I have checked right away to see if my partner saw it? If I had called it right away, or just as my partner went to talk to the kid, does that make my partner look bad?
I guess the general question is: Do we have "ponds" or PCA's for something like this? If it happens in my partner's area and he sees it, is it his all the way?
