What do you think about this story?

[Brian Watson]

This is tough. I don't agree with your partner asking if a TO was requested, I do agree that you should not have called that out of primary. Assuming you were in the proper spot, you would not have heard a verbal TO request.

I also find it hard to believe this call cost B the game. I find it impossible to say any call or no-call costs teams games. There are so many missed FT's, travels, balls chucked OOB, bricked lay-ups, and dumb 3 point attempts that actually lose games, that it is weak to blame a loss on a ref.
