Believe it not it happened to me last Thursday in Mesquite, Nevada.
A player was driving the baseline when he was confronted by two very large people wearing the opposing colors. He faded away from the players towards out of bounds almost knocking me to the floor. He then released the ball which went over the backboard and into the basket.
I paused waiting for my partner, the lead, to make the call. However, he was not in position to see the ball, therefore, I waved off the basket.
This is one time when as a lead it paid off to be looking above the shoulders.
