I always try to pre-game that if I come to you or you come to me, then the call has to be changed, if not, move on with the game. So if you dont know 100% get the clock stopped and ask and dont guess.

I'm not going to go that far.

Same here. I had a play where I was the Lead and clearly saw who caused the OOB on a rebound. C headed my way but I gave him a look to let him know not to come. At halftime the Crew Chief, who was T on the play, says he was glad that the C never made it to me.

I think you need to be 200% sure.

Years ago I had a sophomore boys game and as new trail, ball gets knocked OB right in front of me, I couldn't be more positive. new lead who is almost at half court toots and comes in with his 'knowledge' I stick with my call. At half he says I'm not a good partner, that if he comes in I should change it.

He happens to be a good official and we are freindly, but I always remember that situation.

I would use this as a good philosophy to follow, so that the official coming in is sure about their information. However, I agree with fullor30 to an extent in that I wouldn't call it an absolute. I have seen an example where the pass gets tipped up top by white, goes OOB along the endline, the L signals for white ball, the crowd goes crazy, and partner comes in with the info that white did indeed tip it out by the 3-point line. However, what the L saw was blue tried to save it right before it went OOB, and was the last to tip it. L steps out and says, "Thank you for the info, but blue 21 tipped it right here, that's why we're staying with white". This situation allows the L to stay with the call if indeed they have info that might be different from their partners' info.

For the most part, if I'm receiving info from my partner, I agree I'm trusting their info and going with the correction.

I guess I should have said it this way...

Were we watching the same game? Hillary can't run at all, it hurts me to watch him run.
