Okay, I Just Plain Blew It!

My understanding from the officials manual is that the lead has the baseline and nearest sideline for all OOB calls.
Our senior officials here have taught me that if I am 110% sure of a different call for OOB to go quickly to my partner, say something like "did you see........" and leave it on their shoulders. I am betting this would be an inadvertant whistle as the ball did not go OOB and there is no change in direction or the call. Maybe it was better with your partner just letting it go rather than work through all of the explanations. By the by I did the same thing in a camp a few years ago in front of evaluators, when they got done with me I have not done it since.
