84 games this year and not a signal problem. Only one "T" in JV game, no intentional fouls, no ejections,no problems with partners, no parents coming onto the floor to assault me and no fights among players and then......

Boys varsity game last night. I have been moving up the past few years and getting a better schedule. Working with a more experienced partner. I'm the trail, partner the lead opposite side. My side, three point attempt near baseline. I am looking straight at it and signal 3 attempt and the successful 3 point shot as I am moving down the court. Whistle, partner says a 2, foot was on the line. We come together I I say I had it and it was a 3. He did not want to believe it and insisted. I said no it was a 3 and I was sure. Game stopped for over 30 seconds why we discussed this. Unbelievable.

What in the devil was he looking over there for He was 35 feet away and not supposed to be even looking there. I sensed he felt I was going to give in, but I held my ground and went with the correct call. Coach applauding and saying good call.

Of course the next time down the coach wanted a foul on a play and didn't get it and gives me "that terrible." or something to that extent.

Anybody have a similiar scenario this year?

Why yes, come to think of it I did have a similar situation. I was T and I signaled a 3 point shot good. My partner blew the whistle, pointed at the line, said "2 points" and put up 2 fingers. At the very next dead ball I told him EXACTLY what I thought of his behavior:

"Thanks for the help partner! I owe ya one!"
