force out call ?

[Junker]

I'll fully admit I have used the "save a foul" technique on occasion when I know most people have no idea who the ball went out on. I also must admit that it caused me some trouble just a couple of weeks ago. We had a girl's double header and during the JV game I was L under the V basket. A V girl went to the hoop and got bumped by H defender. It should have been called, but H was clearly outmatched and we already had plenty of fouls on them. After the bump the ball went out of bounds and unfortunately I already made up my mind that I was going to "save a foul" and give the ball to V. As I hit my whistle and announce that it's V ball. What was bad and caused me problems was that V ended up holding the ball out of bounds on the play. Anyway, the whole place goes nuts, the coach was understandably upset. After V scores and we start down to the other end, the H coach follows me up the court gesturing and telling me how "horrible" that call was. Yes, I threw the T. Had he sat while complaining I would have let him go, but since he made a public circus out of it, I took care of him. Long story short, the "saving a foul" cost me some credibility at one school and I had to work my butt off in the V game to try to get it back. I'm throwing that one out of my bag of tricks.
