Maybe the other 8 players were blocking the Lead from seeing the shooter?

In other words, if you don't know what to say, don't say anything.

After telling us you said, "I told the coach my partner missed..." everything else sounds like blah, blah, womp, womp.

Something tells me you were not the only one who paid attention to that part of his post. Just because others didn't comment, doesn't mean we didn't read/agree. I'm with you.

You may be right, but by saying that more conversation has occured. Let's keep it real and call these situations out more instead of entertaining posters about why they should constantly call all over the court. I have to check myself too. Last night in the second half of a NAIA game I had to internally chastised myself. I was clearly watching the ball during a play. Nothing happened, but something could have and I had to get my head out of my butt and do my job. It happens, but we should call it what it is instead of saying we have to do it for various reasons.
