Watching a mistake being made
I have a situation that I would like some feedback on. My partner & I were waiting for the Freshmen Boys game to end by standing in the doorway to the gym. It was very crowded and there was a lot of people between us and the court. The game went into to OT, so we stood there to watch the other officials. When the ball went up for the OT tip, we realized that the officials had switched the direction of the players for the OT. (We all should know that the OT is an extension of the 4th Q and the teams should shoot at the same basket in OT as they did in the 4th Q). One of the school administrators came up to us and said, "Aren't they shooting at the wrong baskets", which we acknowledged as true.
If the situation would have been different and we could have gotten the attention of the officials as they were lining up for the tip, should we have stepped in to correct this. Should we have said something after the first dead ball? |

My point is to let it appear that the game officials discovered the error themselves. I think it looks damaging to have to have the "next officials" correct a mistake like that.

No. I'd stay out of this one entirely unless they (the officials) directly asked.
It is quite unlikely to have any effect on the game and both teams are similarly effected.

Id stay out and just let them know after the game. Both sides of the court are the same so no true impact in the game.

In my neck of the woods officials are not to be in the gym (and dressed) while the prior game in be played for just this reason.
Going the wrong direction is embarrassing, for the officials, but little impact on the game. I would do nothing. |

We hide here to as well. We will watch most of the first half and some of the second from the stands in plain clothes then go back to change and pregame. When the JV guys come in we know it's our turn to go out. Saves from any awkward appearances and conversations.

I would stay completely out of it. It would be something I might talk to them afterwards but not directly intervene in the game.
