Call a phantom foul - live with it
Call a violation that never occured - fix it

Not sure what you meant by your partner would've waved you off...
Whether eye contact is made or not, you can always provide info to partners & most importantly, let them change their call if they choose to do so.

Don't make eye contact with me & I'll be coming to ya with info In my pre-game I make it known that I will not come to you unless I am 110% sure. So we don't have to waste time with the "are you sures."

110%.
Good joke.

Good advice and thank you.

In this situation I called it and gave the signal immediately, after which I knew I had kicked it . After a signal, can I simply say inadvertent whistle? The team on defense (orange) gathered the pass off the defensive player's leg. Now Orange ball?

I'll wait for the answers to roll in.

When did you blow your whistle, before or after RED gathered the ball?

IIRC, before...

I'd like to think so... If you go with an IW, the ball goes back to the team that had control prior to the whistle.

FYI, use one syllable words for colors. Orange is red, purple is blue, yellow is gold, etc.

I don't know if that's universally used any more. I used to do that all the time, with the reason being it is easier to say and understand one-syllable words when reporting a foul, or giving an OOB call. But I know it has been directed in NCAA-W, for example, to use the actual colors, because a number of team identities are associated with the colors: Purple Raiders, Orange Crush, etc. It has always sounded strange for me, in a gym full of people wearing purple shirts, holding signs cheering for the Purple Raiders, to say, "Blue ball" when it goes OOB.

Check to see how it's done in your area.

Cool thanks!

Thanks, that's what my partner was doing. I'll ask in our association.
