Why are you disagreeing strongly with your partner about a judgment call he made? Give your opinion constructively and move on. I wasn't there so I don't know what the contact was, but the most I would say is "do you think you could have passed on that contact considering the game situation?"

BNR beat me to it.
My main questions to ask my partner - or myself - would be: *Did the call fit the game? *Was the call needed? The reason the home coach disagreed is he was catching a butt-whipping and you - meaning the crew not just your partner - gave the other team a +1 that he felt was iffy with under four minutes left in the game. If it was contact Stevie Wonder could see from the last row, go for it. If not, let the game die a natural death and the losing HC won't have anything to say.

More seriously, my sense has always been that the NBA applied "continuation" more generously than NCAA and especially than HS in games that I have watched. But I'm not sure how much of that is an actual difference and how much is perception and levels of athleticism. In HS, from the comfort of the stands, I share the view that someone expressed previously that far more errors are in not considering the act of shooting to have begun than vice versa. |

The NBA is entertainment. Offense is entertainment. The one NBA camp I attended the clinicians made it clear that once a player starts to gather it is assumed they are going to attempt to score unless completely evident otherwise. They would rather ERR on the side of shooting than not. Their threshold is COMPLETELY different from HS and NCAA.

Even though NCAA and NFHS don't use the words "gather" (I don't think), the concept is pretty much the same.

I do not feel like poring through the NBA Rules Book this morning (too many things to do around the house) but if my memory serves me correct (and I am getting senile as I get old), while the wording is different from the language in the NFHS and NCAA Rules Books, the application is the same in all three rules codes. I am sure that someone more versed in the NBA Rules will come along and enlighten us. MTD, Sr.

You do realize that originally you said you passed on the play b/c you thought it was incidental contact? So you disagreed with your partner's judgment twice on this play, whether it was even a foul and whether the contact occurred during the shooting motion. What did your partner say in regards to why it was a foul and why it was in the act of shooting?

All he said was that he thought the player had started the shooting motion at the time the foul occurred. This was only the 2nd time I had worked with this gentleman. He explained what he felt he saw, I think I saw something different. Didn't figure we needed to go any further at that point. At the time of the game, I had contemplated coming together with him to discuss the call. Sounds like I made the correct decision and letting it go. |

Partners frequently have a different look.
Last night I had a blocked shot right in front of me. I had it clean up top. Trail did not, called a foul. I was pretty damned close to the play and did my best to get a good, open look. Defensive coach right in front of the T said nothing to him. Nor to me. I'm sure my partner was right. Drive came out of his primary and I'd have no problem with either one of us getting something on this play. I really don't get into the business of evaluating my partner's calls during a game. |
