Ahhh...the joys of (almost) summer ball

[JRutledge]

Well this is summer ball and I am lucky to get a partner that would even be the the half court based on where players are located in this pic. I would have personally moved on and not worried about the call. They can yell at him all day for all I would care.

Peace

Must have been a crew saver if your partner came in all that way to help you...

Buy him a beer after the game.

Has anyone ever overruled their partner in a case like this? Or do you always just go with it?

By rule, you can't overrule a call, no matter how wrong it may be.

You can give a partner information and allow him to change his own call, but I've never seen it on a travel.

The thought crossed my mind for about a half-second but as JAR said I can't overrule him and we both end up looking dumb if I run 60 feet to ask him what the heck he was doing. I did make a gentle mention during a time out that we should stay in our areas when possible but it didn't take.

As Jeff said this *is* summer ball but I have a feeling he carries these habits into the regular season and no one has said, "Umm, you might want to trust your partners a bit more." On the travel in question the entire gym - maybe about 60 people - stopped. I mean the *entire* gym. Everyone was shocked because they had no idea why the whistle blew and they were even more stunned when he made the call. Nobody supporting Team A even yelled and it was a close game. I just got the ball from the "offender" and said, "Let's go, ladies, White ball!"
