Situation at camp...

[IREFU2]

Well, if it was me on the court, I would have went to my partner, especially if he was saying one shot. Unless the person shooting the 3 point attempt was fouled, that is the only way we shoot one shot. Remember, if you are in a crew and you ignore things that can be corrected, you will also sink with the ship. I heard an evaluator tell a person in a sinking crew to take of the life jacket and captain the boat.

Now that I understand the entire situation, I see why the evaluators got on the entire crew, rather than just that one official. The entire crew screwed up by allowing an unmerited FT to be shot. That should be something that should never happen, if the crew communicates with each other. zeedonk, you knew that the original shooter was not the one on the line, then you knew the call had to be off-ball, and therefore either no shots (if not in the bonus), one-and-one, or two shots. You had to be more assertive in giving you partner that information, especially once they told you it was an off-ball call. The C should've also been just as assertive if they were in on the discussion. That's why it is the entire crew's fault, not simply the calling official.

I've seen entire crews lose games as a result of screwing up a rule and/or putting a wrong FT shooter on the line. It is important you do everything in your power to communicate and make sure things are done correctly. You are correct in that you will not come in and try to overrule a judgement call. Let the L live with their foul call, but make sure the administration of that call ends up correct, by both knowing the correct shooter and making sure the number of shots (if any) are correct.

As far as the differences between a "tryout" vs. "instructional" camp, I don't think you should handle this play any differently. Do your best to find out what is happening, and give your partner(s) all the information possible. This shows you are doing what you can. If the L continues to ignore your information, then there is not much you can do, and hopefully the evaluators would see that. Then, after the game, listen to the evaluators and absorb their input.

I agree completely. The distinction between discussing judgment and discussing administration exactly right.
