Is it right to guess?

[BayStateRef]

You never guess. Never. If you didn't see who touched it last in the frontcourt then it is not a backcourt violation. You hurt yourself, your partner and all officials if you guess because it calls into question every call you make.

Under your scenario, what do you tell the coach who says, "Who touched it last?" If you say "The offense" then you have lied to the coach. You don't know who touched it last. Never make a call when you do not know what happened.

I agree with BayState. If you don't see it, you cannot call it.
