Correctable error - wrong way jump

[ballgame99]

OT jump got lined up the wrong direction, we complete the tip and A gains possession in their back court. Whistle blows before the ball comes into the front court because the error is discovered. Now what? I said give the ball to A on the sideline and correct the direction. Give the arrow to B. Easy peasy. Partner says no, we have to rejump and is adamant. He is the R so we go with it. Rejump goes to B and of course the A crowd and coach is livid. Please tell me my partner is wrong here.

Your partner is wrong here. Switch directions, give eam who had possession the ball at POI, point arrow other way.

Since you guys are from Missouri did your partner ask you to show him in the rule book why he is wrong, .

I didn't mean you. I meant BallGame. His location is Missouri.

1. Your partner got it wrong.
2. The coach needs to relax. The crowd will likely follow his lead.

What Adam said. Not a big deal (except to maybe your assigner/supervisor/observer).

I would expect the coach to be more than a little upset if a mis-applied rule cost him the first possession of OT.

In the first jump, A got the ball. After the re-jump, B got the ball. I would expect coach A to be livid.

My mistake. I forgot the play (I had it that they kept the ball and just switched to go the right way).

I agree that coach A would be livid. However, several people - including coach A and all of Team A's players - could have recognized that the jumpers were lined up the wrong way.

I don't know it there is anything the U can do if the R won't change his/her mind. (We always keep our rule books in the locker room, but they don't usually do us much good there except to discuss what we might have done right or wrong earlier in the game.)

Suppose Coach A produced a rule book and a case book play, would the R have looked at it? Would most officials look at the rule book or just go by what they know to be true? I would look at it and hope to resolve it quickly.

Then it wouldn't matter. Technical Foul on Coach A; Ball on the sidelines for Team B after the free throws. Arrow to Team A.

Yep, we're not going to go through a rule book and verify rules during the game. If he thinks I got it wrong, he can email my assigner later.

Note: Missouri may be an exception, but I don't now, nor have I ever, worked in Missouri.

I see what you did there.
