Illinois/ Northwestern
Finally had a chance to catch a Big ten game live last night and it was a great game at NU, although NU blew a 14 point lead with under 5:00 to go.
Good crew, Ted Hillary, Jamie Luckie, and Phil Janssen. I had never seen Phil work and I heard he is on the fast track. Hillary's knees are shot, but he still moves OK. Fun being almost at courtside to watch them work. Interesting call, Jansssen is T and action is right on top of him with pressure on Illini dribbler, ball goes out of bounds right at Janssen's feet and he signals stays here. Luckie at lead, comes charging out talk to Phil. A nod of the head, and we're going long. No drama by Phil, he was obviously screened and missed it, but they got it right. Nobody squawked. I was thinking to myself, would I do the same? Maybe, maybe not. That's what they get paid for. |

That's probably what happened here; Jamie was sure that Phil might've been too close and didn't see the whole play, so he came in with the info. Phil's probably saying "thanks" because he was probably the only one that didn't see it correctly.

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.

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. |

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