He stole my call

[Smitty]

As you move up levels, you tend to learn what advantage/disadvantage really means and how having a slower whistle can affect your judgment. Typically in lower levels, there aren't as many kids who can play through contact to finish plays, so there is less of a need to see a play through. But when you move up to a more skilled level with stronger players, you'll notice when you make a call too soon. I learned this when I called fouls as lead watching A1 driving the baseline and defender B1 gets beat and gives a little hip that makes contact that would normally push a lower level player out of bounds. As I'm blowing my whistle, A1 is finishing his uncontested layup and I have to wave it off. Ooops.
