I appreciate the help on this. We talked it over as a group and one of my partners said to count the basket. I guess I should of listened to him.

If there is any confusion whatsoever on the part of the players either on offense or defense, I hit the whistle for sure. I think it would be totally unfair if a ball handler travel, or for a defender to stop playing and have the man he's guarding blow by him due to confusion. it's a lot easier to do of course when a shot hasn't been put up...
