Endline Play

[Adam]

Sadly, I've seen a high level varsity ref make this call; but at least it was in his primary.

[referee99]

Working a game, and my partner tells me of working with a partner who blew a call right in front of him.

First dead ball after he goes up to his partner and says, "see this whistle? Next time you make a call right in front of me I'm gonna shove it up your a$$!"

I got a laugh. Later in the game we were working, I'm trail, he was lead. player in "the gray area" of just below free-throw line extended away from me (2 person) rises up to shoot and came back down. Player may have kept a toe down on the floor. Partner was squared up on the player in question, and I almost blew. Suddenly a thought of a whistle up my as$ entered my mind. , I let him make the call!

All good.

I'm lead on a made basket. Team B gets to the ball, one foot out of bounds, one foot in the air over the endline when he throws the ball in. (how many times have you seen that?)
My partner, at C, blows his whistle and calls a violation because the player did not have both feet on the floor out of bounds. Could have killed him.

That guy was in the bleachers at my game last night. VB, visiting team, who happened to lead by 20 for most of the night, had a guy who routinely inbounded this way. The cries escalated.

He stepped in!

WATCH HIM STEPPING IN!

CAN'T YOU SEE HIM STEPPING IN??

Was this part of his pregame?

how could you think of putting air in your whistle if..."Player may have kept a toe down on the floor." either he did or he didnt yes its that simple lol and the thought of making a call in front of a P and a whistle up your a$$ well...that should never stop you from calling a violation or foul

Happened to me yesterday in a tournament 3rd place game. I'm lead, ball is loose, player who had made original play on the ball had gone just OB, gets back in and grabs the ball. C blows it dead and makes the dreaded "over-and-back" signal. At half, he talks about how I was watching the scrum and must have missed him coming in and "being the first to touch."

We had a short conversation about how that was legal and went right back about our business. Only call all day that got me worked up...

I had this play at lead Friday

"Who's officiating your PCA if you're blowing my endline??"

Unfortunately, I've had clinicians at a "high level" camp that believe 2 feet in are required for re-establishing
Something in & nothing out is a good way to remember this play.

I had a partner last week give a direction on an out of bounds on my sideline, which might have been OK but he missed a touch by Team A, so he was pointing the wrong way. He started pointing to A's basket as I started pointing to B's basket. I come in to him and get him straightened out and indicate it is B's ball.

Team A's coach starts getting on me with "Mr. Official, you have GOT to trust your partner out there!"

Gee, thanks partner.
