Dead ball contact

Based on the game temperature. It was a frustration foul as black was losing by a lot. This, coupled with the dead ball contact from the other video made me think that we should call this an INT to put a foot on any other ideas black had about hard fouls.

Well your partner did not seem to be too concerned. If I were you, I would have been more concerned about the players on the floor than talking with my partner at that moment. Let your partner do his job on a play he was mostly responsible for. If he felt it was that bad, he could have called it originally. This was a basketball play. I get thinking on some level this should be upgraded, but this is not a play where that discussion needs to be had.

#6) IMHO, as the trail, you shouldn't go sprinting over there... hold your spot, make sure that the fouled player (or his teammate) doesn't get up with "ill intent", so to speak.

If there are "game temperature" concerns, the freeze and observe routine becomes even more important, IMHO.

I agree on the "sprinting." If I make a call, and I think there's any chance that I might have missed something that would result in an "upgrade" then I'm making eye contact with my partners to see if they have anything to add.

Then, we get together.
