Direction of ball

[Toren]

I'm in my third year total, second year varsity.

Just this Saturday I had a play, 2 man mechanics, I was the trail and the ball went out on the endline. The L blows his whistle and looks at me for assistance because it's opposite the paint and he didn't know. I call out "White" and point toward Blue.

As I heard the bit of a moan from the players I realize my mistake and immediately blow my whistle and repeat "White" with a correct direction.

Hardly ever happens to me, but if it does, don't be afraid to correct the issue immediately. Just don't make it a habit. Making this mistake more than once in a game is probably a problem.

As others have said, take your time.

It's not a huge thing -- you pointed in the wrong direction. Another reason to have a quick look at the benches and orient yourself before pointing and calling. Take your time.

I didn't realize that Denver, Colorado, was actually in Southern California.
