I had this happen a few years ago -- a court with more lines on it than possible sports to play -- heel hits line, partner whistles a backcourt violation, realizes almost immediately it's an inadvertant whistle.
Coach said it happens a few times each season. Shrugged. Life went on. I can't imagine a coach being a jerk about this. I wonder how a coach like this would act when he had a reason to be upset. |

Yesssssss! From the mouth of a coach. How many times today during normal conversations disagreements and so forth has anyone used a stop sign today? Didn't think so. Coaches are people and officials are people.

If you later realize you had the wrong line, I would tell both coaches you made a mistake and put it back in play, like a do over. Don't make the same mistake again.
If you were correct, point out to the coach that he or she needs to pay closer attention.

I'm guilty
We all kick a call once in awhile...unlike coaches. I had a situation about a month ago in a boys varsity game that ended up going to double OT (I know, my partner and I screwed up not only once, but twice ). Anyway, with about 2 minutes left in regulation, Team A was in the bonus and shooting a 1 and 1. I was administering the FT and when I entered the lane I told the players that it was two shots. For whatever reason my partner did not catch my mistake. Needless to say, the shooter missed the front end of the one and one and the ball was caught be a Team B player who then promptly handed it to me out of bounds. Immediately the Team B coach realizes the mistake and starts to scream that it was a one and one. I know how we handled the situation, but I would be interested in how you would do it.
Even though the game went to 2OT it was some of the most fun I've ever had in a game. I would definitely take a few more like this every year.
