what I left out of my OP was that the "non foul" block was in my PCA, much closer to me than my partner.

Doesn't matter (on this kind of call). |

We all have brain laspses and kick calls, sometimes out of our primary. If you were to do this to me resulting in embarassing me (or the other member of our crew if three person) count on me changing the call right back to the original call and embarassing you. |

We had an "overrule" last night in our Boys V game.
I was the R in a 3 person crew. Frontcourt action with the ball being passed around by Team A. Team B player tipped the ball, on a pass, and a Team A player touched the ball before it went into backcourt. As the players were hustling to get the loose ball in backcourt...a Team A player pushed a Team B player. Tweet...my partner, that was Trail, called a foul on the Team A player. We were in the bonus...so my partner indicated that a Team B player would be shooting a bonus FT. Is there anything there for me to overturn? |

Did you? |

Seriously, good job. Twice this year I've had to remind my partners we are shooting when an offensive player fouled on the rebounding action. Once I had to remind them that we don't go POI with a Technical foul. |
Quote:
Also, good...no team control on a try, therefore you would shoot the FT(s) on a rebound foul. (if in the bonus) And those pesky college officials(or college fans)...POI on the Technical...always wanting to bring their game to the H.S. level. ;) |

Your partner calls a foul and unless there's a violation that precedes the foul he wouldn't see (player travels before the foul) there's nothing for you to communicate. Period. And it doesn't matter whose PCA it's in. An official is not restricted, by rule, from calling a foul anywhere on the court. Not that it's good practice, but you sure can't overrule him. |
My Opinion ...

It was the great philosopher Chevy Chase who stated in the movie "Fletch Lives!" : It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong, I am NOT a big man!"
Your partner may have been wrong with his call, you were DEF. wrong in your handling the situation. Just because he hadn't "reported" the fould, doesn't mean he had not "called" the foul. I am assuming his fist was up, and if he was on the ball had identified the shooter. Own the mistake and move on. Let your partner report the call and deal with those calls. We have ALL made those. The last one I had there was about 2' between the shooter and the defender while I was in "C". Shooter double clutches and I blow my whistle. The coach asked me what I saw and I told him "Coach, I'm sure I have made worse calls than that one, but can't recall one off the top of my head. My bad, I'll get it right next time". Not something you want to say often, but helped the situation. And you can be DANG sure I was much more focused/patient the rest of the game! |
