Bad Backcourt Call by Partner. What to do?
Partner as T rules backcourt on an inbounds pass. A1 passes to A2 who jumped from the frontcourt caught the ball midair and landed in the backcourt.
I'm the L. Partner makes call. What to do? Partner has 30+ years in and clearly has his mind on 7pm game. Do you step in and ask him about his call or leave it be? I had to answer to the coach who just had that call against him. "Coach I didn't have a great look at that play from where I was." Coach, "I knew you were going to say that!" |

If he made that call, you stop the game, go over to him and tell him (loudly) that he's wrong. If he gives you any crap, tell him you have a rulebook in your bag and you'll bring it over and look it up in front of everyone. Tell him that if he's right, you'll give him $100 but if he's wrong, he has to go out into the parking lot and wash your car. Ask him if he wants to make that bet.

Indeed however since this is during a throw-in, 9-9-3 applies.

Just my opinion, refnuts, I'd talk politely with my partner right there. If the shoe were on the other foot, and my partner saw something differently, I'd want him to talk to me. I tell every partner in pre-game that he has an open invitation to discuss any call with me right away. We should care more about getting it right than getting a little egg on our faces. |

To be the jerk in the room....(J/k but just saying
![]() It seems to me you were ball watching. If you are in the L you would be the furthest from the play. I'd let it go until I had a chance to ask them about it later. And it can be done very easily at half/end of quarter or end of game. As you review your game just ask them what they had on the back court violation. Tell him, and he probably already knows, that the coach had a question about it and you didnt "have a good look". NOW, if YOU were the T and THEY were the L and they blew a back court violation, I would be more prone to stop play and have a conversation with them. In fact have done so on a couple of occasions with "newbies". It does make a great teaching point on several levels. 1) As I stated earlier, I ask them why they were looking at the instead of the other 6-8 players on the floor. 2) Review what constitutes a back court violation and 3) although rare, admit that I probably made an error ![]() Hope that didnt sound too jerky!! |

This was the exact play for which I went to my partner. I was lead, administering the throw-in. Ball went into the BC where the throwing team gained control. Partner called BC. My only regret is that I didn't have her announce the IW.
