"Help" From Partners

You are LEAD and there is a tip OOB among a cluster of players. Ball tips off red under the backboard, You call "BLUE!" and point. Then you hear TWEET! and your partner out at the arc is yelling, "No, RED! Blue tipped it out." You are Sure you saw it right (or maybe you made an educated guess), besides it is in YOUR area. Do you switch to his call, or keep you own?

Well I would have pregamed this situation and it should not happen but if it did, I would probably go with my partner - since everyone has heard him say what he saw.

Situation 2)
Similar play, but you are the TRAIL. LEAD has a tip OOB play on the endline. He calls BLUE! You say to yourself. "Hmmm, sure looked like Blue tipped it out to me."
Do you keep your opinion to yourself and just move on, or do you TWEET and offer your version of what you saw?



That's his call, I'm not going to say a thing. Now if its a tipped pass or shot that came from my area that's different since lead might not have seen the tip, but on a rebound etc., that's his.

Thanks
