Thanks Snaq. Yes, Bob, it is.
I'm still not sure I'd call this in this situation. Unless she started rolling the ball from 20 feet behind the basket, the team did not gain an advantage. Even then i'd stop her and do it right.
I did that in a 7th gr. "B" game this year. First game of season, a girl caught the ball after a basket, stepped out of bounds, and instead passing to her 'mate, she ran onto the court with the ball. (No press allowed.) I stopped her, made her do it again. No one protested. Game went on.
I'm also dubious your assignor wants you to step in and call this for your partner. Major fouls, big obvious travels, sure, but this?
If you have the guts to call this (twice), and guts enough to T up the coach, then have the guts to tell him your name. He goes away much sooner.
And finally, your assignor didn't say anything more to the coach, other than to leave, because he couldn't defend your actions. Silence does not equal agreement.

I don't think you can make this assumption. If that was the case, he'd have talked to him afterwards about it.

You know after seeing that video of the "High Stress Ref," I'm thinking about signing up for Rec League games just so I can practice those mechanics. :D

Any particular reason why you're saying that Fonzy is lying? Why would he post asking for thoughts and then lie about it?

You sure seem to know a heckuva lot more about the situation than Fonzy does. Were you there?
