Example: Throwin form the frountcourt endline that is thrown over everyone's head into the backcourt where A1 goes to get it. Partner calls a backcourt violation as soon as A1 first touches the ball.....and coach says "hey, i thought that was legal". I'll acknowledge the coach and then go to my partner. |

And even if you did think you saw his feet, if your partner right in front of him calls a travel, are you going to go over and question it?
It is unlikely that I would. |
This thread needs to quit happening in my games.
Last night, my partner was administering a sideline throw-in in the front court as trail. The throw-in pass was made and had bounced in the middle of the floor when he blew his whistle for a violation. I was a little confused because there was no one near the ball at the time but decided the thrower must have stepped on the line and the whistle was a little late. As I'm collecting the ball, the coach says "The ball was in the air." To which my partner replied from across the court "It has to be touched within 5 seconds." So I go to confer with him and explain that it's released in 5 not touched in 5 but he's adamant his call is correct. The worst part is that in the locker room after the game, he asks the varsity crew while I'm looking up the rule and all three of them agreed with him. They were shocked when I showed them the rule. |

Was watching the JV game before my V games last night and the exact scenario in the OP happened right before my eyes. Could not believe it. A1 throws up an airball from 3 ft. (clearly a shot) and gets his own rebound. L calls a travel (2 whistle game). As he's getting ready to administer the throw-in for Team B, his partner calls him over to discuss it. I am thrilled and expect them to get it right. Instead, they do nothing and give the ball to Team B. Good grief. I spoke with them in the locker room after the game and they said they weren't 100% sure that it was right/wrong so they went with what was called. I informed them they were wrong.
Even worse, my partners weren't sure I was right about the rule. I emailed our rules interpreter and suggested he send it out in one of his "rules of the week" emails. |

Used to work with those kind of guys around here. But most (if not all) of those type went to the new association that formed. |

It sounds as if we have a lot of posers amongst us, due to the economy. Many of the newer guys I'm running across that dont know basic 101 rules truly believe that since they played/coached they dont need to crack open the book. "I've played all my life & coached for 14 years." :rolleyes: |

Or the guys who call the "first to touch" violation in high school when it wouldn't even apply in college. Quote:
