I wouldn't call this taking care of business. More like taking care of a mess, which you'll have after you call a T.

This is like telling your wife you'll take out the trash. Tipping the trash upside down and spilling it all over the place. Then picking it all up and wanting to claim credit.

Again, I DID NOT SAY I WOULD WHACK IN THIS SITUATION. I changed the parameters of the situation and said I would PROBABLY whack in MY SPECIFIC SITUATION. Everyone clear?

While I think that the trail got the play wrong, it appears to be a JV game and these officials should be on this site. There was enough time and distance for the defender to avoid contact but she decided to plow through the legal screen. Despite getting the play wrong, it needed a whistle and good job by the trail for saying with what he had to avoid a double foul.

With that said this is a mess. The ball in in bounded to the back court. There should have been a back court count, unless this is one of the states where they use NCAA rules for a high school game. Secondly the body language needs to be addressed. The lead, who had no business looking where at this play hits his whistle three times, seems to upstage the trail. Its just bad and if he had a different opinion they should have talked about it AWAY FROM THE COACHES. In addition there was no signal from anyone. Add to that that this player fouled out the officals need to look at the rule book for how to handle a player who fouls out. Inform the coach and then the player in that order. If you can have a non-calling official do this so that things don't get out of had with the coach especially if there is any doubt that the play was called correctly. The C should do that in this case because he is the only one that did not have any input on the play. Finally I cannot stress enough, have the conversation away from table staff, players, and coaches. These people are not your friends and this could cause an excited coach to cause him/herself to earn a T. Stay out of that situation.

Edit (forgot) if the lead has something different, why the heck he was looking there I cannot say, there would have to be a double foul because the foul was already reported to the table. This is another reason to officiate your primary. I would not want to have to explain this to a supervisor when he/she asked who was refereeing my primary (assuming I was the lead)

If you think these officials should be on the site, then most of these points are moot. Trail is new and not going to have strong mechanics. T handled the play well and cleared it up.

I'd explain this to a supervisor with zero problems. Everyone was confused and he wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page. You have no idea where he was looking and to top it off watching your primary doesn't mean your blind to everything else in the gym.

I certain person on this topic said, "mute" when meaning "moot." They have since changed their reasonable mistake.

I'm guessing he's a relatively new official. This is clearly summer or fall ball judging by the team waiting behind the bench with the bleachers pushed in. The L was likely the veteran official here.

We've all been there with a newer partner who just doesn't have good mechanics yet. The guy made the right call, he just got the mechanics wrong.
I was assuming this was a jv game and that is the varsity team getting ready

While it does not mean that you are blind to the rest of the gym I would have a hard time going that far out of my area to reach for a call. To make that call I would have to be 100% sure or more.

I really don't think he was reaching for a call. The table was holding up for what looks like 5 fouls before the lead even comes in. Looks like the call stood to me and it was just the initial reaction by the coach, player, and mechanics of the trail which caused the lead to come over.

I don't have a problem with what the Lead did. If I had a partner who was so lax with his signal at the spot of the foul, his reporting, and what happened afterwards, I would want some clarification as well.

I was going to mention getting in the backcourt and counting as well, but I figured everyone else would see that stuff on their own.
