Correcting your own call
I'm the T and U, two man system.
There's a loose ball in the lane and "scrum." I see a tie up, wait a second or two, and call the held ball. Arrow points to Team B (who is on defense). The R comes to me to communicate that actually, two players from Team A were fighting for the ball. I told him, in that case, I have no problem changing my call to an inadvertant whistle. The R says I shouldn't, because I already signaled the held ball. He's the R, so I relent and stick with my call. Team B's ball. We talked about it more at halftime, and he really didn't want me with egg on my face by changing my call. Honestly, I don't care. I feel the reason we communicate is so we get it right. Had I gone with an inadvertant whistle, the worst that could happen would be a brief explanation to Team B's coach that his team never had the ball in the first place. I probably would have done a better job by "fixing it." Thoughts? |

I've changed my call when I was wrong. Same thing happened to us Monday night, A1 and A2 fighting for the ball, we did a no call waiting for them to figure out they were on the same team.
But last week, I did a Block call, realized I was wrong, defender had position and changed it to a Charge. Getting the call right is more important. I think. |

I am little tired of people saying the "R" said I shouldn't do something so we didn't. Grow a pair and make a call...or in this case change "your" call. When the game starts we are a crew and not a R, U1 (U2). Make the right call, not the popular or easy call.

But if your partner had signaled the charge, you are not allowed to change yours, is that right?

Just this week I had a game where as transitioning to the new lead we had the long up the court pass. As the play develops I can see a crash getting ready to happen. Classic, A1 looking back for the pass running up the court B1 getting into legal guarding position. A1 catches the ball takes a step as he is turning up court B1 is there....crash. I come out with player control. B1 on the ground ( actually head bleeding where the tooth of A1 caught him in the forehead). As coach and trainer are coming on the floor my partner comes up to me and says "You know you can just as easily come out of there with a walk and no foul has to be given." I simply said, it was a foul. He then went on to explain that if you call a walk in that situation really neither coach says much because you can't really tell because it happens so fast. |

Don Quixote', only if you honestly made a mistake. Otherwise it's called lying.
