Well, I'm late to the party, but my answer is, "Not really."

It was the trail who ran in and volunteered the information. I was prepared to go with my call (even though the player protested). The trail came in immediately with what he saw. As we talked, the center came in, but he said he did not see anything.

There was pressure and there's a good chance all 10 players were in the backcourt.

My problem was that I was too close to the play. I'm concentrating on body or hands contact (holds, grabs, push, etc.) and I did not have a good look from the waist down. When she went down, it was obviously without a foul and in my haste, I called the travel. Interestingly enough, in a game today, I had a very similar play and I was able to be patient and not call a travel.

It's all part of becoming a better official.

We still have too many Trails.

While sometimes we may have two trails bc one is on didn't notice a flex, what were you? Are you talking about the old L who became the new T or did the C come in and gave you the information? Is this what you mean?

He was the old trail, who was in the process of becoming the new lead, but with the pressure in the backcourt at the end of the game, he had yet to cross the division line into the "new" frontcourt. I was on the endline, the C was about even with the free throw line on the opposite side and the "new" lead (although still in a trail position) was about two feet from the division line (all 10 players were in the backcourt with us). Does that help?
