If you come to me to ask "did you see his foot on the line?" what am I going to say? "Of course I did but I'm giving him 3 anyways". Or maybe "No I didn't, and neither did you, you lying sack of sh1t." No need to confer, just fix it and move on.

Err....say what?

I certainly agree with the highlighted statements.

But....where does it say that if I'm 110% sure that the shooter's foot wasn't on the line and the call was in my primary, that you can just go ahead and over-rule me and say the foot was on the line?

If anybody ever tried to pre-game that one with me, I'd tell 'em to go find another partner. Homey don't play dat game!

JR is never going to agree with Dan and me on this. How do I know? B/c we already hashed it to death here: Changing your partner's call

I'm going to excuse myself from this thread now. . .

Was cleaning out my officiating binder and came across the NFHS Basketball Guide '05-06. On page 11 is an article titled Changing the Cal on a Three-Point Attempt. A few quotes:

• "The correcting official should stop the clock, signal a two-point attempt (point to the spot of the shot with arm and two fingers extended, then signal two points at about head height to the scorer) and simultaneously verbalize that the shooter's foot was on or over the three-point arc."

• "There's no need to huddle together with your partner(s) to confer. If you clearly saw the play, there's nothing to talk about. Getting together adds confusion..."

• "Discuss changing successful three-point field goals in your pregame conference with your partner(s)."
