Lead marked a three

[Kelvin green]

Although I agree with Brad we need to get them right, justifying to a coach that you called something from the baseline because you happened to be looking through gets you in more trouble than if you get it right.

I had a partner on the baseline, I was on top near the 28' mark when there was a pass (about 4' from me) and player jumped up with legs out. Due to my angle and closeness to the sideline I did not see a kick, and the ball was not deflected much if there was one. I was also on the side of the court about 4 feet from the coach of the team who had the ball. I passed but my partner made the call in attempt to get it right, and because he saw it looking through... The coach of the defense immediately stood up and yelled If you are watching that play out there then who's watching the paint. My partner tried to explain it but did not work, and on a couple of ensuing plays then that coach was yelling about on/ off ball coverage. At the next time out My partner ended up hitting the coach with one T and I had to get down the floor and break them up just as partner was threatening T#2. Moral of the story sometimes getting it right causes worse problems than turning to a coach and admitting that I missed the call and I'll work to make sure we dont miss many more.
