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.

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.

This is a judgment call just like any other call we make throughout the game. If you want to debate every one of those, be my guest, but that might be a tedious exercise. Good luck with that.

Peace

It is only a judgement cal if it is about whether it hit the wire above the basket or not. If the official is ruing that the ball is dead because it hit the top of the backboard, that is a rule error, not a judgement call.

I don't disagree.

But when I kill one of these, I point, and point and that's it. Not enough for a partner to say I screwed the pooch.

But if the official making the call thinks it did, it is like arguing if the pivot foot was moved on a ball handler that would cause a travel. We do not question those calls on a regular basis either. And I see a lot of those calls reversed and traveling calls are rules based as well.

No, but if a travel was called during a throw-in, you might.

I wouldn't, because people call a designated spot violation and use the wrong signal.
