B/C sitch...what should I have done?

[bas2456]

That's one of the worst areas on the court for a two man crew. I've been burned a couple of times on OOB calls in that area.

I would say that if you're not 100% sure that the offense was the last to touch, don't call the violation

Here are 2 strategies:

1. Call the violation. Then check with your partner about who touched the ball last. If your partner knows it was A, then you made the right call. If partner doesn't know or it was B, signal accidental whistle and give the ball back to A.

2. Don't call what you didn't see. If partner saw a BC violation, let partner whistle it from the bowels of the FC.

Neither option is appealing. Try to see who touched it.

Here's another:

3. L should use the "tipped ball" signal if B was the last to touch, so you know not to call the violation. If L doesn't give the signal, call the violation.
