This was not a press situation (sorry I didn't include that detail), we were on A's baseline. Even in a press situation, why would I be looking at the inbounder with my partner right there? The only information I had was Coach B yelling that he wanted to talk to me. It was my opinion that if we had talked to the coach and then changed our call, the other team could take that as the coach complaining and "working" us to get a call. Then in overtime we would have one coach and group of fans that knew we blew a call and the other coach and group of fans that think they can complain and get us to change our mind.

I understand the situation--it seems that your real question is, "should you have stopped the game to find out what coach B was yelling about?"

IMO, from what you have told me, you did fine. However, if you're worried about people being upset with you--would you rather have a group of people mad at you because they thought you "caved" to a coach by changing the call the a call you KNOW is right or would you rather have a group of people mad at you for sticking by a call that you KNOW was wrong? Seems to me like it's best to get it right, but in the heat of battle, we can't always get things perfect!
