Well, I don't always use a smiley, but when I do....

I was partly serious, but only on the specifics. I know how to offer info on plays where it's appropriate. Are you saying that you think a partner should offer info on whether a foul should result in free throws?

Are you talking about strictly double whistle scenarios?

Sorry, I was just looking for clarification on the sort of situation for which you'd offer assistance. No worries.

I think his question to you was fair. I was thinking something else when you made your comments initially, I now have more questions based on what you have stated since.

If I have ruled that the player was not "shooting" and you come in and tell me they were shooting on the foul, I would be a little puzzled.

Peace

APG where you at, maybe they'll believe it if you explain it...

Why don't you explain what you are talking about? I am trying to imagine what you are referencing but for some reason I am not imagining an example that fits.

Peace

To absolutely no one's surprise, I completely agree.

I haven't read past this post yet but it is most definitely appropriate to offer such information. In my case I have offered it more in situations where it was obvious that a player actually passed instead of shooting.
