Overturning an OOB call

[bigwhistle]

The way we like to handle this situation is for the offiicial who is going to come and provide additional information to the calling official DOES NOT blow his whistle while coming to the calling official. If he blows his whistle he is drawing the attention of everyone in the gym to him, which makes it more difficult for the calling official to keep his own call IF HE MADE THE CALL FOR A REASON.

The calling official may have passed on a foul or some other action and awarded the ball to a team on purpose. We like to have the noncalling official come toward the calling official. If the calling official did what he did for a specific reason he will give the other official the stop sign, which turns that official around and returns him to his position. If the calling official allows the noncalling official to come to him, the call will almost always be changed BY THE CALLING OFFICIAL after receiving information he did not have or did not see.
