However, we're always told to "get the call right" so if the other official is 110% sure the foot was on the line, I'm ok with calling it a 2-point try.
I would add: (a) partner should be watching the release of the shot, to have an opinion about whether it beat the horn; focusing on the foot is the wrong place. (b) partner should be 100% sure that the foot was WAY over the line; a toenail is not enough to "fix" this.

Way over? On the line is 2... as long as it shows up on the game film.

In a JV game? With 2 officials? How good a look do you think partner got?

The same look we'd get in a 2-person varsity game, which probably 60% of my games are. Probably not one I'd touch *unless* it's an elephant on the court. My partners know though that I wouldn't come unless I absolutely had to.

Yeah, I agree. I have only given information to another official unsolicited once this year, and that was on an OOB call. It was a 3-person game and I was the Center. The ball got deflected and went OOB on my side of the lane on the endline, and I was positive about who caused it to go OOB. The Lead called it differently, so I just went to him and asked him how sure he was. He said he wasn't as sure as he would like to be, so I gave him what I had and he changed it.

I can see giving info on a 3-point shot if you're sure though. It is usually one in the gray area around the FT line extended. Lead marks the shot and Trail sees a foot on the line.

Depends on where the shot was taken from. (where's mr. grammar guy?)

If it was near the FT line extended on L's side, both would have a look.
