Goodwill,

I recently had the exact same call and we did just what you did. All 3 partners agreed that it was only 1 freethrow and that's what we went with. Of course I looked it up before I went to bed that night and saw that I was wrong.

I hear exactly what everyone is saying about contacting the coach and they're mostly right. I think you best know that situation with that coach and especially how he reacted to that rule interp.

In my case, I called the coach and explained the correct rule and apologized. He said that in 12 years he has never had an official call him like I did. I suppose that means that there are alot of others in my area that agree with this board. However, this coach said he really respected my humbleness (or stupidity) for calling him. I also know that he has already called the assignor to request me for next year.

In my situation, I knew what type of personality I was dealing with and felt reasonably safe in calling him. BTW, he won by only 4 points.
