Down goes player.

This happen to me for the first time. I just want to see how others would handle it.

I was the NEW LEAD in transition on the table side. One of the players went really wide and as I tried to avoid him, he cut back into me as the ball was on its way for a pass and he goes down. I was fine but the ball clearly went out of bounds. Now this was a 20 point game and I just gave the ball back to the team of the player I ran into or ran into me. No one said a word.

Just wondering would you do the same thing or would you just call a violation and go the other way?

Peace

Stuff happens. OOB violation.

I had state tourney game this week where the ball hit me on the leg while I was in transition in the C position. I was mostly out of bounds and even though the ball hit me on the leg that was on the court...I felt I had no choice but to apply the correct rule.

It's a slippery slope when we set aside rules in the interest of fairness.

I would have gone with an out of bounds violation IMO...

My thought?

OOB violation. That's just the way life goes. You didn't have any issues, which is good, but in the long run we can only get in trouble when we ignore obvious calls.

We can only get in trouble? Trouble with whom?

I got that some would not do this and I am fine with that part, but let us not act like we are going to get in trouble with anyone seriously.

Peace

We can get into trouble with coaches, though you didn't which is a good thing.

We can get into trouble with assignors.

We can get into trouble with observers.

Obviously you didn't have any problems in the situation so that's great but if someone who "matters" - for lack of a better term - is watching, they might not look upon the charity as a positive.

Wouldn't care one bit.

Probably, but just put it on the list.

And they might not care either. But if they do they would have to show me a rule that says I can't.

The rules say that you got it wrong.

What if the spread was 15 points? 12? 10? Does the remaining time on the clock matter? At what time remaining does it no longer matter? Does that time remaining change based on the spread at the time?

The only consistent thing is to call the rule as written.

And next time, be a trail, not a non-trail.

I think sometimes we worry too much about what coaches, assignors, and evaluators think. Some people on this forum seem to make every call while thinking of what someone else is going to think.

I doubt anyone, in reality, is going to notice or care what Jeff did here. It was one call in a meaningless situation. That said, I probably would've called it as it was. I'm not fast enough to make stuff up on the fly. Although we could have a great discussion on out of bounds calls where a bump is ignored in exchange for giving the "right" team the ball.

JRut, I gotta ask: Did the new Trail official get "ahead" of the play, or did the pass go backwards and tangle the new Trail official up in it?

Rut,

You're about 5 levels above where I officiate, but i would rule it as a violation.

As this is a once in a career type play, I don't think anyone is really going to care. This isn't like getting hit by the ball. It's taking a player out of the play. IMO, it's a situation that easily lends itself to 2-3.
