A1 is fouled on a shot and the ball goes through the net. I count the basket and report to the table that the basket counts and we have on free throw. My partner either did see the play or wasn't aware of what exactly we had and was trying to get my attention when the announcer, who was not located at the table but up and the the left of the table, announced "two shots". My partner reported to the girls that it would be two shots, and I didn't notice.

The free throw hit the front of the rim and none of the girls moved....then my partner came running in and grabbed the ball to administer what she thought was the 2nd ft. I blew my whistle and went and talked to her. I told her it would be POI and since there was no possession on the free throw that we go AP. Is that correct?

Yes. I would also have gone to the table to tell the announcer to get his **** straight next time or don't say anything at all.

Did you say "Good basket" and signal it to the table? Did you make eye contact with your partner to show one finger for one shot?

The scorer knew and table knew, as for making eye contact with my partner I don't recall making eye contact with my partner on that particular situation. And that is what we talked about in the locker room, both taking responsibility for not communicating better.

That's one of my pet peeves when I officiate soccer and basketball; lack of eye contact. I'm always checking in with my partner at just about every dead ball and such, and I hate the officials who don't even make an attempt to look at me. (bring on the ugly jokes)

That's how problems start in my opinion. The two games I had that were absolutely bad this season, were because of lack of communication and eye contact.

It was good you talked about it in the locker room and admitted you should have communicated a little better. Good job
