"No, I tipped that in."

Had a HS D-II BV game yesterday. Blue is leading White by about 15 late in the 2nd quarter. Kid for Blue drives the lane, shoots, and both my partners (at C & T) whistle White for a foul (good call). From L I see the ball in my peripheral vision fall through the net. Trail starts to report the foul but instead turns around and asks my partner and I if the shot fell. I defered to C who had a much better look, but he admitted he didn't know (his answer: "I called the foul so I quit looking"...&#*$@). So I told T the ball fell. Questions, smirks, murmurs abound, so now I'm assuming I must have kicked it. I'm standing in the lane as the players line up for the free throw, so I half-jokingly say "Did he make the shot?" First a couple of White kids mumble something, but then a big kid for Blue says "No, I tipped it in." I say thanks and run to T and tell him no basket, two shots.

How about that honesty?...though I'm still not sure he realized what he did. To his credit, Blue's coach just smiled and never said a word.
