Double Whistle sitch...........

[SWMOzebra]

Always a good idea to make eye contact with at least 1 partner before heading to the table to make sure they understand what call you've made and where you want the ball put into play, FTs, shooter, etc. I know you were tableside and it's just a quick turn to give your info to them, but I might suggest slowing down a bit. Loud, small gyms make it more difficult to hear the double whistle....but looking up at the T might have prevented what happened next.

Snaqs is right....whether you made eye contact or not with your P, the prelim signal by both of you forced the double foul call.

I've watched so many games this weekend, forget which one. There was a double whistle and both lead and trail had a player control call. Both reported #, they had no idea the other had the call also. Right call, just a liitle quick on lead's part IMHO as it was coming out of trail's primary. Lead looked like he did the dramatic TV 'sell' and got a little caught up in the moment.

Easy to do.

I was involved in this exact thing this year, as Trail tableside. I just turned around to report, as Lead walked around the players, opposite table (I didn't see it), and reported.

If there is one thing I do right, it's hold my whistle. I'm very aware of my partners, at least when there are double whistles. I've had the same thing happen and a few have had tunnel vision, never even realizing someone else made a call.

The C had to tell us, but he waited til later and kicked himself for not stopping us.

We pregame to divide the court vertically in the backcourt between the Trail and the C when there is a press situation (more than four players in the backcourt). The Trail takes two-thirds and the C has the one-third closest to him.

Therefore, for the OP's situation my crew would have the C taking the call and the Trail holding his whistle.

What "kind" of press was this? If it was just a one-on-one situation, then T has responsibility for all the calls in the back court.
