Rules Question from new official

[Adam]

1. You were right, this is not a violation. I'm guessing your partner doesn't understand the rule, and doesn't understand that TC during a throw-in only applies to fouls and whether FTs are taken.
2. You were right, once the ball gained FC status it never went into the BC. This is not a violation. I'm guessing your partner saw this play completely wrong and thought A2 landed in the BC before throwing the pass to his teammate.

Your primary lesson here is never, ever, ever, make this call from lead. You'll be wrong more than you're right.

good calls.
hopefully your partner wasn't a veteran!

seems like you have a good head on your shoulders and even though 100% correct, still had the open mindedness to post on here and confirm that you were correct.
an important part going forward would be making sure that this is addressed with your partner. while it doesn't have to be from you, you should bring it to the attention of your chapter president or rule interp...or even casually ask to go over BC violations and 2-man PCA's in one of your meetings. generalizing the subjects won't pinpoint their mistake, but help them learn FFR.

1) Did you go to your partner during the game and ask, "What did you see?" These verge on "rules" issues and not "judgment" issues

2) If not (and I would guess not), what did your partner say after the game both about calling in your area and about the rules / judgment on the play?

Thanks to everyone who responded. Definitely learned how to handle this situation if it arises again, and not to doubt myself on calls if I know I'm right and it's in my area.

Looking forward to learning more from all the experience in this forum.
