Continuous Motion...a continuation

[HokiePaul]

In the first, I would expect a partner of the calling official to at least mention "Are you aware the ball was passed and not shot?".

Wondering when you would prefer your partner telling you this? Should the partner tell you right away before you report the foul ... or is it better to wait until the foul is reported and then approach your partner?

You catch your partner before he reports. You quietly and quickly provide the info and then you get out of his way and let him decide what to do.

Generally, as the partner is on the way to report. Thus, he/she can change the call if needed....basically what BNR just said.

As soon as the partner puts up (or doesn't, depending on the specific play) two fingers. It's part of the reason why the mechanics at the spot of the foul are important.
