Long Distance Call
Tonight, BV, 2 man. I'm trail, A1 working one on one against pressure applied by B1 at the division line near my sideline. There was a significant amount of body contact but A1 was about to turn the corner and come free so I let it go, and then I heard the whistle. Partner, from his proper position as lead, across the lane from the play on the endline, had his fist up.
SURELY HE'S GOT SOMETHING OVER THERE, OFF-BALL Then he put his hand behind his head. SURELY HE MEANS TEAM CONTROL, BUT MADE THAT SIGNAL BY MISTAKE Nope. Player control on A1. Going the other way. I was told that my annoyance was obvious to everyone.

Did you ask your partner what he saw? |

Sure did. He said the dribbler hooked him with his elbow to get around.

You tell me. Is it possible to make a call 40 feet across the court which is 6 feet in front of your partner while the other 8 players between you and the matchup mind their own business?

Well he did make a call :P, I think you mean correct call. And while he is definitely not focusing on his primary and trusting you, I have yet to hear you say his call was wrong....just really, really, really far away.

I obviously didn't think it was correct or I would have called it myself.

So-so. In his defense, he's a second year guy who had never called anything before last year. He doesn't need to be thrown in the varsity fire at this point, but our assignment system is, uh, interesting.

Was he receptive to the oh-so-tactful discussion you had with him about the call?

At least he gets it. I work with other veterans who haven't quite figured out that part of things yet.

I mean he had never owned a whistle before last year.
