help with first year partner

[refinks]

fullor, there was no way there was three seconds between put backs. as soon as the offense got the rebound they went right back up with it. I saw the hack and was going to blow it, but he had already blown his whistle. being he was right in front of the play, i yielded to him. He was not very good when it come to mechanics and signalling what he had when he blew the whistle.

bktballref, I had no idea what he called, I just assumed travelling. Had I known he had three seconds, I probably would have went and talked to him. I thought about that after you said that. We could have awarded the basket and given the ball to the other team for a throw-in. I'll have to remember that next time.

You've got to figure that something is weird. He waved off the basket, right? So maybe it was a foul on the shooter. But he didn't report a foul, right? That right there would have been enough for me to go investigate.

When he tells me what he's got, I tell him to go report an inadvertent whistle to the table, good basket, ball to opponent for a throw-in (POI).
