IMO if the L's on the sideline at the top of the key there is no way he will not see what's going on just inside the half court line opposite him, at least peripherally. Also IMO he's gonna have A1's coach standing up right behind or next to him screaming about the foul on A1 whether there was in fact a foul or not.

Don't worry, Chuck. I never watch public television either. It's too bleeding-heart liberal for me. Besides, it obviously scarred the people who did watch...

Hey, I watched the Electric Company. Who can forget Rita Moreno belting out "Hey you guuuuuyyyyyyyys!" at the beginning of the show. And I remember Spiderman, and a couple other things about it. But I don't remember the soap opera.
And now. . . the last word: ancient.

I vote YES to the question of "should the Lead have called the foul".
You can talk all the mechanics you want, but if I'm on the crew and the foul doesn't get called - I certainly am not looking forward to the following conversation(s) from the losing coach/supervisor: Coach/Supervisor: didn't you see that foul? Lead/Trail: I did but didn't call it - it's not in my area. (not a good way to answer that one) OR Coach/Supervisor: didn't you see that foul? Center: I didn't have a good look at it. Coach: WHAT?! You were 5ft away! Center: I just didn't see it. OR Coach/Supervisor: didn't you see that foul? Lead/Trail: I wasn't looking in that area. Coach/Supervisor: you mean we've got 3 officials and none of you can see an obvious foul in the last 5 seconds of a game near mid-court?!!!!! If everyone agrees that it was a foul - although none of us were there, I haven't heard anyone say it WASN'T a foul - then someone HAS to call it. |

I can remember my youngest son saying to me "Did you see the hooters on that one, Dad?" Yup, brought a catch to my throat and a tear to my eye. Kids- they just grow up so quickly. He was four. [Edited by Jurassic Referee on Jan 5th, 2006 at 03:55 PM] |

Oh, yea, back to the topic. I've been working on my patient keyboard mechanic, waiting until now. jeffpea seems to have the same feeling I do - if it's the right call, make it. Now, we can discuss all day whether the C was caught in the wrong spot, whether the T should've been drifting over more, or whether the L should or should not have started a rotation. But the comment about the crew losing credibility if someone calls out of their area, at this point in the game, just isn't true. Do you think if the players, or the coach, asks why the foul wasn't called, and your reply is to say "It's not the T's or L's call", they would gain this new-found respect for the crew? Hell no. Now, to me, "getting it right" is more than just getting the call right. As Tommy, (er, I mean Tom ) said, sometimes it's used as an excuse for having more eyes on-ball. But, at least with most of the partners I work with, "getting it right" is the whole package - being in the right position and hustling to get there, knowing your areas of coverage, trusting your partners to cover their areas, etc. But, sometimes, being aware of something that happens outside your area can actually bring more credibility to the crew. If I'm the C in this case, I'm thanking my partner for making the right call, then apologizing to them for not being in the right spot to make the call in the first place. One other thing: the call has to be the right one. If it wasn't, I'll be standing right next to the coach as we both yell at the L for making that long-distance wrong call.
