Handled correctly ?

99% of problems that occur in a game are the result of not blowing the whistle enough.

This is a classic example....this end of game problem was caused by NOT blowing the whistle when it was clearly needed.

btw, if you feel strongly enough to tell your partner the he/she missed a call during the game, then you should have blown the whistle DURING the game. The only time a problem can be fixed is on the floor...NOT in the locker room.

I see no problem with telling the partner, in the locker room, what you think of him not calling a foul in this case. He is the one who said it was a foul, so saying the OP should have called it is not really the issue.

If it was a homicide I will come and get it. If it was something that just looked bad from where I was standing then I will ASK my partner about the play. If his response is "That coach is out of his mind if he thinks I was going to call that foul with 1 minute left. The player got fouled but he should have made the layup the first time. " then depending on the dynamics of our relationship I will respond with something showing that I don't necessarily agree.


However, nowhere in the OP do I see anything that indicates that the poster told his parther that he "missed a call".

I'm witnessing some really poor reading skills in this thread.

I disagree a million percent. You "fix" this problem by calling it out of your area on your own after partner passed, and you very likely CAUSE more problems than you fixed.

Heck, you might bring this up in the locker room and learn that your partner didn't pass on it because he wasn't finishing the game, but rather for something completely legitimate that YOU (from the non-calling area) could not or did not see.

I'm unsure where some believe I threw my partner under the bus,,, never have and never will. When the coach asked me about the play I said my partner was in a good position and had a good look at the play. Maybe from his view (the coach's) it may have looked like a foul but I gotta trust my partner.

I guess I should not have been discussing in depth so much with the coach but I've always tried to answer any questions they have (as long as they are questions).

I certainly did not comment on the play until my partner asked me (in the dressing room) what I thought ....... so I told him what I would have done. Just to clarify : My partner said that the player was fouled ---- in his words "pretty good" .

Again,

Thanks for the feedback

I don't know how some posters missed this the first time. It certainly was very clear to me.
