Partially blocked shot

[Adam]

As lead, when these plays happen, I'll often have a whistle and then look to my partner and ask if it was tipped.

I do too especially when the ball goes out of bounds on a shot. Unless a player is a horrible shooter, something happen that deflected the ball to me as the lead.

This, whether working 2-person or 3-person.

Quickly run to my partner, tell him the shot was blocked, quickly head back to my spot (hoping to hear a whistle and new call by my partner). I try not to use my whistle to get his attention if I don't need to.

If I give information, I go to my partner and give it verbally, no clandestine signals or pointing.

For out-of-bounds help, let's get it right. If I have no idea and I look to you for help, just give a directional signal.
No need to come to me, just point. If you don't know, give me a jump ball signal. If I signal but I get it wrong then
blow the whistle and come to me. Tell me what you saw and let me decide if I’m going to change it.

No need to blow the whistle.

+1. Don't hammer on the whistle. A gentle tweet just loud enough to get your partners attention should suffice.

Good advice. Sometimes we don't need the whistle, especially if we're both on the same page in terms of eye contact. Sometimes we need a gentle tweet to get one's attention, especially if the administering official is one of those guys that likes to keep the game moving and tends to rush the inbound administration.
