Also, I really wasn't ball watching, but I was cognizant of where the ball was. And the shooter just happened to be inside my field of vision when the shot went up. |

I know sometimes we catch that foot on the line; it only takes a brief glance. I realize this is different than the travels, double dribbles, carries, and maybe fouls that I would dial long distance for in my early days. I'm willing to admit I was wrong on this one. :) |

Yet, I still find it a bit uncomfortable when I am table-side Center and I no-call a miss by my partners, ... while the Coach [behind me] wonders how I "...Could not see that !!?" |

I agree that you don't want to even be looking at travels, etc. out of your area. In one of my first seasons I "helpfully" called a backcourt violation...from lead. And I got the call wrong. I too have had to train myself to not call stuff in my partner's pond when I see it, unless it's the proverbial elephant.
But would it be the next step in the progression from padowan umpire to Jedi referee (tm) to be aware of when there are situations where a single, well-timed glance into your partner's pond might put you in a position to help the crew? It's a question I'm asking myself too. |
We will only correct if we are 100% sure ...
From my long version pregame, regarding a shot from that gray area, foul line extended, on the lead's side:
Two-Point / Three-Point Shot If one official incorrectly signals the number of points, the other official will simply blow the whistle immediately, discuss the play with our partner, come to a decision, signal the correct number of points to the table, and resume the game. |
