Call what you see

[ref18]

The only times you should really offer information to help your partner change a call is if you're 100% sure that it was a 2 instead of a 3 or vice versa, or who last touched the ball on an OOB, provided it was not on the other side of the court from where you were standing. There might be another situation, but it's late and i can't think of one.


We live or die by judgement calls and the only time there should be discussion amoungst the crew on how to rule on a judgement call will be in the event of a double whistle.

You should not be telling your partner that it wasn't a travel. If you're going to discuss it, it will be in the locker room, at half/end of game, or in the bar after the game.

To do so on the court makes your partner look bad, and you look bad. And in this line of work, our partner is the only one we can trust out there, so I would be trying to make them look as good as possible.
