How do you handle this situation.

Was it your line or his line?

It was his line. I understand where you are going this this but it was one of those calls that everyone knew what the correct call was. I also understand that we don't always get them all right. My point being is that he didn't want to hear anything I had to say about it.

3 man, baseline is lead's, primary, right? Play is high in the Cs primary passed ball is slightly deflected off of player above free throw line, exiting the court on the baseline. Lead makes signal you as C know is wrong, you go to him and give him the information he still want to stick to his call. Do you "just let it go" when you know it is wrong just because it is "his line"?

What's your other choice? Rock, paper, scissors at midcourt?

That was too flippant. Sorry. Some people recommend saying something like, "I'm 100% sure it's white ball, and I will take full responsibility for the call if the supervisor is called."

But if that's not good enough, you can't just stand there and argue about it for 5 minutes.
