Made the call...messed up the free throws...
Made an intentional call, basket went in, only awarded one free throw...Coach thought it should be two..Partner and i both agreed it was one. "I know it always two unless missed on a three pointer"

Should i email the coach and tell him we made the mistake so he knows in the future?

No, you should call whomever assigned you the game and let them know you kicked a rule.

Remember: Intentional foul=2 shots and the ball, even when the basket counts.

I wouldn't email him, but if you see him again on the court; I'd let him know.

Except when it's 3 shots and the ball....

You knew that.

Just curious, what would emailing him and letting the coach know that we kicked a rule hurt?

JMHO. I don't think we need to be communicating with coaches on a personal level concerning officiating. If we kick a rule or make some other kind of major mistake we should let our boss (assignor/commissioner/supervisor) know. I know I don't want coaches emailing or calling me concerning my officiating.

I see no harm in emailing him and letting him know that we are taking responsibility for our mistake. I believe this coach would respect you more if you sent him an email.

I think it sets a bad precedent. You'll have that coach emailing you every time he disagrees with a call or doesn't understand a ruling. I believe those communications best left to the powers that be. You also take the chance of the coach applying anything you tell him/her as the official stance of your board/association.

IMO, if you admit a mistake people actually think you may have some good character traits. Good character is usually good for an official.

Then, by all means, go ahead and do it. Don't let the fact that nobody here agrees with you dissuade you one bit.

Do you also believe in dragons, fairies, and Jurassic's sense of humor?

Goodwill, do you get your games through an assignor or are you hired directly by the schools?

I think it's a mistake to say "people" will all react the same way to anything.
