Game Scenario for Discussion

[APG]

Keep the discussion (disagreement) civil

I think how this situation is handled largely depends on what is expected in your area/conference.

I know that me, personally, will just fix the error myself...CC or not. No need to waste people's time by making a show of going to my partners and/or going to the crew chief to fix the error. I know if I did that with some people, they'd give me the funny eye, and tell me to fix the damn error myself.

I also know that I don't want to use any "crew chief" powers/influence unless needed. If my other official has knowledge of a clock malfunction, I don't want him to waste time coming to me...then me going to the table to take care of it. I would tell him to go to the table, put the correct amount of time on the clock, and let's go.

This is two-fold...one, it speeds up the process. Two...it can help build up the coaches' confidence w/that partner...especially in a league/conference setting where they might see him/her again. Letting that partner take care of that situation shows the coaches that he's on top of even the little things like the clock.
