BV, Team A, home team leads by 2 points and inbounds with 4 seconds left in the game, team B does a bad job and doesn't foul anyone on the inbounds play. A1 passes to A2 who drives the lane pretty much unguarded and attempts a dunk with less than 1 second left, time expires and A2 is hanging on the rim. I am L, so I'm letting T, who's in good position live or die with the call and he passes on it. He said that he hung on for protection from injury, but that the call might have been different at another point in the game. Based on my angle, I might have had a T based on what I saw, but I wasn't about to come in late since my partner had a good look. Assuming that there are no players beneath, who here would call the T in this situation and who thinks that passing on a T here betters the game?

Trails call all the way. To me it's similar to you as Lead calling a foul in the paint and you looking to your partner to see if the basket was made. Since it's the end of the game Trail has responsibility to determine whether the basket counts or is waved off to me it's his/hers call all the way. Trust your partner in that situation. IMHO.

As an aside his/hers explanation on why no Tee was called makes no sense. It's either hanging on the basket or it's hanging to protect your self from injury. Point in the game should make no difference.

One more question. Horn sound as player dunks. Basket is good after horn player hanging on basket. Does the horn have any significance as to whether a Tee can be called?
