Situation at camp...

[zeedonk]

OK-

Lead called a foul off the ball. I thought he made a call on the ball (which would have been my primary, and no, I don't know why he signalled 3, he should not have). When he indicated one shot is where I got us together to discuss.

I said there should be no shot as foul was off the ball. C seemed to be OK with going with the foul on the shooter theory since he didn't see if there was one or not.

Lead never answered me if the foul was on the shooter, he was just bringing in the shooter for the foul shot. As I didn't get an answer and I told him what I thought, I let him have it his way, knowing it was wrong and we were gonna catch hell for it.

Afterwards, I was not going to disagree with the observers, I just told them what I saw and what I did. They started by saying "the one thing I cannot forgive is not knowing the rules- a foul off the ball does not get a foul shot except intentional or one/one and why did the shooter shoot the FTs?"

I assumed that we were getting killed because Lead called an off ball foul, it was not a one/one situation and Lead brought the shooter in to shoot one shot instead of the guy that was fouled. I knew it was wrong but decided on the spot not to make a specatcle of the situation b/c Lead didn't appear willing to change anything. So I let him live with it and decided that I was OK getting some heat from staff because 1- I knew it was wrong and 2- I can handle it and if it became a bigger issue, I would have gone further to protect myself.


Now is there a difference if this is a "tryout" camp? Is it then every man for himself and you can toss the partner under the bus? I suppose in that situation you may think twice how to proceed...
