They added it in this year and then corrected it out?

Looks like they want it deleted from E and F also.

Getting back on track, if you were the C in this situation, and the T did in fact whistle no shot because he felt it hit the supports, would you come to him with information, just as you would on an out-of-bounds play?

If T had it hitting the supports, I probably let that go. IF T says it's out because it hit the top of the backboard, I probably (try to) correct it.

Not unless he asked.

Why would he ask? The T thinks he's right. There's nothing to ask.

The C, however, has information that the call is wrong, so all I'm asking is if you would go offer that info, much as you might on an OOB call.

(Yes, Dad, I can see that you would not.)

Anyone else?

Nope. Not unless I know exactly why he called it that way. He may have seen something I didn't.

I agree the Trail will probably not ask for help here. The real question is....if you are the C and you know T got it wrong do you go to him?

Not a chance.

I don't either. Trail will have to live with that one.

Let's take this one step further.

I hit my whistle and go to the trail to tell him he got this one wrong. He says, "It hit the support."

We're screwed as a crew.

Count the free throw. Top, bottom, and sides of backboard are all in-bounds.

How do you know he got it wrong? It matters to whether I'd go in.

I agree.
I don't see how one official saying that it hit a supporting wire and another saying that it didn't does anything helpful.

The person who blew the whistle has this call all on his own.
