I'm not going to confirm his call (are you 100% sure?). If I ask him for the call, or he steps in and takes the call from me, then I'm going with what he has.
But from that point on, he owns that call. So if a coach questions me about it, I'm telling the coach, "You need to talk to him about it; not me." Particularly if he steps in to correct my call and I saw it clearly. I'm not going to argue with him about it; he needs to deal with the consequences. That's why I rarely step in to correct a partner's call, unless it's very evident to me and virtually everyone in that building. And that's generally an OOB play that had no chance of being touched by anyone but the team he gave the ball to. |

Too obvious to discuss? is there such a thing?
Im calling a 3 man spring league game. one of my partners is...getting up in age. hes easily 65 and it shows. hes almost never in position he is slow to signal and the fans and coaches are starting to get aggravated. we were shooting free throws. and Im the C. the second shot goes up and misses. me the T and everyone else in the gym sees it go out out on red. the L(everyones favorite official)calls it red ball. Im not defending anything I did or saying its something I normaly do, but everyone in the Gym knew it was white ball including my other partner. TOOT a little NBA hand slap and point in whites direction. did I botch this, should I have walked over and discussed it with him, is there a hybrid. anything to help me get beetter would by appreciated. no matter how you feel about it iff you have something in the officials manual that would be appreciated too.
PS alot of you guys call the pro league the NBE? what exactly does that stand for lol. |

In your case, I would have gone to the L and told him straight up, it went off of red and should be white's ball. Give him specifics if you think it'll help (Hey bob, red 34 hit the ball with his right hand and was the last to touch it).
NBE=National Basketball Entertainment...it's some people's way of saying that pro basketball isn't basketball but rather entertainment (as in officials never call travels on stars, stars get all the calls, and a multitude of other silly stuff). Stupid I think, but to each their own.

However, if you really want to do it right, check with the local people that are working the level that you aspire or better yet, the person assigning those games (if applicable). They'll teach you the correct way to handle this situation and then include it in every one of your pre-game discussions. |

I offered a partner unsolicited help exactly once this last season. It was a 3-man game, I was the Center and a shot had gone up, missed, and got deflected OOB on the endline but on my side of the court. The Lead pointed one direction but I could tell he wasn't extremely confident, and I knew he got it wrong and so did everyone else in the gym. I went to him, asked how sure he was. He said "Not all that sure", and I told him I was positive that the other team touched it last. He changed it and we went on.
I'm with everyone else though. Pregame this and make sure you're on the same page. |
