I am popping my whistle and tell him the screen was legal thats why I passed on the contact and while I watch the players you can decide if you want to go IW and tell the coaches we kicked it. In so many sports we can pick up the flag. We fail to use IW call to help us avoid a big mistake. And I hate it.

Your comment about letting him eat a bad call is way off base. Working the Atlantic 10 is near the top of the food chain. I live in the hometown of the ACC Alliance supervisor, the last ways to get ahead with him are by being a bad partner or reveling in the misfortunes/mistakes of others.

We do not get the blow our whistles after the fact and tell our partner his judgment was wrong on a foul call except for plays involving the restricted area. If the Center official wants to have an opinion about the screen he has to stay and officiate it instead of drifting down court and leaving his partner to officiate the ball and the screen by himself. Like I posted earlier, maybe the Trail doesn't blow his whistle if he sees that the Center is there to officiate the screen.
