The guys I work for are taking assignments when the bolded words come out your mouth.

Even if I have what I think is a clear view of the play I'm still farther away from it than my partner in most cases and may not have seen the thing that caused him to make the call. Finally, and we've never called together so you have no way to know this, but I wouldn't just throw it in there face. I would would bring it up, but more like a "what did you have on that call." This happened this weekend, actually, where I passed on a call and one of my partners made it (even though the play was in my primary). We discussed what each other saw quickly during a dead ball and moved on, no drama. |

Maybe but I'm not going to agree with him! That's a good way to make a name for yourself amongst your fellow officials especially if you know enough about the call but don't go in and provide help to your partner to get it right.

1. Partner makes an incorrect traveling call, that I had assumed was NOT for the reason he made it. Basically I assumed he actually HAD a traveling. 2. Coach asks him and partner tells coach incorrect rule. Coach calls him and partner tells coach he is wrong. 3. Coach asks me rules question. Coach is right on the rule. I agree with the coach. Therefore partner is incorrect (I still DIDN'T know the exact reason for the traveling). 4. If coach tells me what partner says (and it happens to be incorrect and opposite of what I just agreed with) I would tell coach I will talk with partner but it's obvious he is incorrect. So if this gives me a "bad" name with other officials. Then I would say they can go F themselves. You cannot be wrong in life and NOT own up to it AND blame someone else for your mistake. Your partner did all the damage he/she could. Playing dumb shows no integrity on your part. The right thing to do is say, "Yup coach you are right and I will talk with my partner." First chance I get I would discuss this. Hopefully he's receptive and he acknowledges his mistake and owns up and apologizes to the coach at some point for the screw up. To me that's the right thing to do.

This is the best response I can think of without throwing your partner under the bus. Let him do the mea culpa, once you've shown him the correct rule. |

Well that's your opinion and I think yours is incorrect.

I'm like, well why didnt you help him if you had definite knowledge?!?! Some guys enjoy watching others make mistakes even if they are on the crew (which makes the entire crew look bad) They are hiring crews of 3 not 3 individuals like back in the day.

This is a tricky situation and you of course need to be careful as not to be judging calls as is mentioned in OP. |

Multi-tasking
Quote:
When a play/shot goes toward the basket, there isn't anything wrong with 3 offcials knowing where the ball is. Players, partner & ball, right? Its tough to flex or back out of one without knowing where the ball is. As we start talking about the higher levels, its even encouraged to sneak-a-peak on 3 point trys out of your area. Yes, to help our partners! Hopefully by John Adams adopting some NBA principles it will trickle down to HS in another decade. Because HS is behind the times... I am just now starting to hear RSBQ & SDF at this level. When I got up on it 4 or 5 years ago, they were saying thats NBA talk
