If you're absolutely sure of it (and you were) and you saw it, call the backcourt violation. As the trail official, I'll take any help I can get from the C with regards to the ball being tipped or not tipped, even if this means the C coming up to me after I call a violation and saying it shouldn't be one.

Also, I agree fully with Rut about the C helping out on a halfcourt line trap on the side opposite from the T. This is a great pre-game topic, as your crew can discuss help situations and your general philosophies about rotation.

The T has this as their primary, but that does not mean that the C never can make this call.

Another situation that would be common for the C to make a call is when the ball is near half court on a press or trap, if the ball handler steps on the line or near the line (on the C's side especially), I do not expect the T to look through bodies and make this call.

Peace
I've had a ball tipped by B into the backcourt on my side and I'll give a "tipped ball" signal to my T partner, who knows me well enough to look in my direction in this situation.

When it comes to lines, we all have more to look at than that -- so someone with definite knowledge is always welcome.

If I am visualizing this correctly (and there was at least 2 more players on your side of the floor), the lead should have been in the process of rotating to give you help on the ball side anyway (which would have meant that you were becoming the T and your overbearing T should have been becoming the C anyway).
Z, totally agree with what you said. There is a whole lot of ball watching going on. A rotation should have be in the process by the lead which in turn would have prevented this scenerio.

And actually, this is where the C needs to force a rotation.

You also have to have a Lead Official that recognizes a trap and rotates. That is the problem with a C forcing a rotation. All officials have to adjust.

In the original situation, ask the T - "is your goal to get the call right? or is your goal to only have the covering official make the call?"

The whole reason why officials exist is to correctly apply and administer the rules of the game.......which rule in the rulebook prevents an official from correctly calling this situation backcourt?

That depends on who you work with. The one way to solve this problem is to talk about this in pre-game. Then you can at least talk about this issue.

Peace
