Block/Charge out of primary
I'm the R and the T on the play.
Jump ball. A1 passes to A2. A2 driving down towards the basket on the opposite side in front of the lead. I'm the T trailing the play. A2 dribbler contacts B1 at lane line and B1 falls to the ground right in front of the lead who has a good angle on the play. No call. A2 is then fouled by B2 called by the lead. Would you as the trail come in and make the charge call? I thought a whistle was needed because of the contact and displacement but passed because it was right in front of the lead.

If it was one of those situations where you said "OH MY GOD, THAT'S A FOUL!!" then you should have had a whistle.
If it was more of "Oh, that looked like it might have been PC/block" then leave it alone and trust your partner. |

I also think I am responsible to some extent for the whole court. I'm trail and ball goes OB on endline and my lead is looking somewhere else for any reason and no whistle, are you going to let him live and die with it? Semantics yes, but live and die might be a little harsh. That's why you have a partner as you say. |

Who's call is it, the popcorn guy's?
If it is a major contact, I have no problem with you stepping in. I like rockyroad's take - if it makes you say "Oh My God!", then take it.

You say it all right there. Lead has a good angle, why go in there? In a case like this, when I have a chance I'll ask my partner what they saw just to get an idea of their thinking. I would not phone this one in from trail unless you are sure they didn't see the whole play or if they happen to be straight lined for some reason. |

You used the operative words "thought" "looked" ...not real positve. IMO you done good holding whistle. There has to be no doubt, which includes a good sight line. |

I've picked up that PC call before and have had others pick it up for me. In either case, they're rare cases. We're a team and let's get the play right.

Ask yourself this: Where did the play originate from?
If it orginated from the lead area good no call; If it orginated from your area and you clearly seen the contact by A1 on B1 it's your call. Why did you pass on the contact? Please don't say because the lead had a better angle.
