This was the absolute best outcome on the play....H coach is happy his player did not get a T for hanging on the rim and the V coach is happy because there is no basket. Neither coach said a word or complained about the call.....

Well, I guess that's better than making the right call and pissing someone off.

I guess.

I guess.

How is calling BI not the right call? It is precisely the right call.

The grabbing of the rim is, at most, a judgement call and you can't say that it was right or wrong....especially if it was a dunk attempt and even more so if there were other players near the basket.

Jeffpea wrote "As the T I froze and was about to call the T...". He had already judged that it shoulda been a "T" but was simply late blowing the whistle to call it- for some reason. His partner then called BI, so he just plain decided that he would ignore his own call. His rationale was that no one complained and everybody was happy.

My opinion is that you have to make the right call, and whether anyone is happy or not with your call should never be a factor.

You're trying to make a supposition out of a fact, Camron.
