Here is the situation: A1 passes the ball to A2, but the ball is tipped by B1. Team A has control in their frontcourt. The ball goes into the backcourt, recovered by A2. No backcourt violation per Rule 9.9.1
Trail official calls backcourt. I thought he didn't see the tip, but when I used the unofficial tip mechanic to avoid going over to the trail official and telling him it was tipped, he acknowledged the tip but did not change the call, which he sold. At the half I asked and he said team control was not lost so this is over and back. What would you have done different? What if I had approached him right after the call and he told me this? Should I have approached him and tried to get the call right? |

You are probably damned if you do, damned if you don't.
If he shrugged off my non-vocal help, with the tip signal, I'm going over with, "I had B with a tip, did you have A touching it after that tip BEFORE it went into the backcourt?" Hopefully putting it in rules context will thaw out his brain. |

In the end there will be situations where the officials disagree about the rules. We need to have proper mechanics to deal with this so that the two officials are not standing there saying "Is too", "Is not", "Is too"... |

Most important pregame activity is discussing and getting a feel for how the crew wants to handle missed calls. Was this discussed in pregame? Sounds like his comments were inappropriate.
