Situation that occured in my game.

Situation that occurred in my game tonight. I'm the lead. The ball is stolen close to half court. I'm now the trail I almost make it to half court (fast transition). My partner (new lead) is under the basket (not sure what he was looking at) The offense player gets hammered (the mother of all missed calls) I'm holding my whistle but he makes no call. I come on strong and call the foul. We shoot free throws and play on. Between quarters we talk and he was upset with my call. Said he had it all the way there was no foul etc. etc. You have to take my word that I'm 100% correct that there was a foul. (rest of the game everything went fine and we got along very well.) In all honesty I can't remember the last time I made a call from such a distance away.

I have three rules when I ref. Trust your partner, trust your partner and trust your partner. Obviously I violated my three rules.

Here's my question. When this happens should you ignore the foul (as outlined above) and let your partner deal with it. Or do you call the foul because if you don't you both look like goofs.

Comments please.
