After i report and turn to watch free throw administration, i guess the coach did some nice hand jestures and my partner that was getting jumped on already just happened to see him so he "T'd" him up! The coach then walked on the floor at my partner and wanted an explanation and before i could get them calmed down he blew another and tossed him!

We got together and was talking about what shots to shoot first. What do you do when you know you are right and both partners disagree so they do what they want to????

They shot the 2 shots for the foul, then shot 4 "t" free throws and threw it in at half court.... i told them that is wrong, but since i was the "younger, inexperienced" of the 3 they didn't want to listen!

Should we not of shot the 4 "t" throws, then went with POI which was the 2 free throws for team A???? just wanting to make sure....

jritchie,

If you know a 100% that you are right, then I would say to them, "Hey guys, I am sure this is the rule". If they don't agree with you then say, "Guys I will take full responsibility for this." By saying that you are saying that if you get it wrong and the commissioner comes seeking somebody out, then it will be your butt and not there's. After saying that though you can only leave it up to them. If they don't believe you after the last line then they are not good partners any way.

Huh? If I'm the R on the game, the buck stops with me. If we, as a crew, blow a rule, I can't go crawling back to the commissioner saying, "We weren't sure, but the rookie said he'd take full responsibility." If I tried that, I would fully expect to never be the R again. Perhaps never even work for that commissioner again.

While such an offer by the rookie may be well intentioned, I could never accept it. Even if I agreed to go with his input, if it's wrong I would have be the one to take the blame. It was my crew; it was my decision; it was my responsibility.

I don't like the college rule for a couple of reasons. First, it removes the age-old phrase: "penalize them in the order they were committed." That's a very simple, yet effective, concept. Second, it minimizes the effect of the foul penalty. 2 shots and the ball should be the minimum.

I have to agree with this. It is ultimatley up to the R to make the final decision. If the crew has to get together during a game for a conference in regards to administerig a rule it is up to the R to make the final decision. The supervisors first call is always to the R.
