No. Definitely not. Scoring issues... not this.

Not a chance.

I completely agree with Nevada on this one. I would not ask the scorer for help but if my partner did see it, and I said before, the onus is on us to call the T.

And I have had this T before. Team called TO in the 2nd/3rd qtr and their best player just runs to the basket and jumps and hangs on it.

As he did that and I was putting air in my whistle his coach was going "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" like in slow mo. Then he chewed the kid a new one. It was a pretty good holiday BV tourney.

After the game my partner asked me why I called it since it was a TO. I told him because it's a T by definition and not judgement.
