Speaking of poss, (in previous thread)

Play: Jump ball called, look at arrow, blue ball. Blue takes five seconds, I give the ball to white. white inbounds and two players tie it up again. My partner calls jump. He looks at the arrow and gives it to.......blue. My mistake a few seconds earlier was in not making sure the possesion arrow was switched IMMEDIATLEY AFTER blue was called for the five seconds. try explaining that to a coach who, even if they did read that rule book we mentioned in the other thread, they probably would not have found it. (Case Book Rule 6.3.5A)

Yeah, Stripes130,
You have to be either lucky or good to catch that play.
I'd like to be good enough, but luck works.

It's still not too late to correct the error. If you know that white should now have the arrow, then calmly explain it to the blue coach, pun intended 🙂, and give the ball to white.

"Coach, when your team committed the 5 second violation, they lost the arrow. The table failed to make the change and I didn't have an opportunity to correct it. So, it's going to be white's ball."

Is that what you did?

If the "blue" coach turns "Red"... That is his/her choice. The coaches choice may result in further correct administration of the rules (tweet😃).

Yes, Tony's response is an appropriate attempt (Preventative Officiating/Game Management)to resolve this issue in short order.
