Communication with partner

Agreed. I've been on both ends of this where I have brought the information and where information was brought to me. "Did you see that he passed the ball?" "No, I didn't. Spot foul."

If the calling official decides to stay with 2 shots for whatever reason then fine but nothing wrong with bringing info.

And I have always been taught that it can't be a shooting foul if the player passes the ball. I can understand the other side but don't agree with it, even with a 12 year old case play.

The people I work for insist that if a player passes the ball, it can't be a shooting foul. So that's what I go with it.
