I believe, more often than not, most officials feel this way.

I had a similar one in my last regular season game, the only difference is I prevented a correctable error. I'm working with a 30+ year vet, JV boys. He's the T, and had a loose ball foul near the division line on an offensive player. He reports it, white #23, illegal contact, shooting 1-and-1. The players go to line up.

A light goes off in my head. I never saw the contact, but white was indeed taking up the ball, so that can't possibly be anything but a TC foul, right?

I speak with my partner in the reporting area.
"That's team control, right?"
"23 white, it was a loose ball."
"That's still team control, right?"
(pause... wait for it.... light bulb!...grin)
"You're right. Blue ball."
"I got this."

He informs the table it's a blue ball on the sideline. I take it out to make it look smooth, though it just occurred to me we forgot to switch.
