O.K. here's the set up. Varsity boys game. 5 seconds left, score 46-45 in favor of team A. Team b has the ball out of bounds on the baseline opposite their basket. Team b throws the ball almost the length of the court. Team b player catches the ball drives the rest of the way puts up a lay up that is no good and time expires. My patner and I leave the court followed by team b's coaches. He informs me that the ball hit the roof on the inbounds throw. And that team A should get the ball for a throw in at the baseline. I tell him I didn't see it and by this time my partner is no where to be found. Once I reach the locker room I ask him what happened. He said that it hit the roof and that he let it go, to see what would happen. He said had team b scored he would have brought the ball back and given it to team A for a throw in. I am 22 years old and have been calling varsity ball for only four years. My parnter is 45 and has been calling for nearly 20 years. I am in no position to agrue for very long. I think that he got wrong, but I need you guys to help me sort out the mess. Thanks in advance Kayne |

Your partner got it "wrong"...but, don't "argue" with him over it!
Discuss the situation with each other and "decide" together what would have been the correct procedure. If he still insists that he would wait to see what would happen...fine...let him...you know what's right and I'm sure so does he. This situation is different than "holding" on a foul during a shot attempt. This was a clear violation, like stepping OOB on a throw-in, that should have been called and not "held" on. Dude |

Once you left the confines of the court, it is too late to fix the situation. Your experienced partner was wrong! Hopefully this will help you in the future to get up the nerve to tell other experienced partners to please do it the right way on the floor so that you will learn the proper way to do it. Stroke their ego a bit and they will be more willing to help you.
