Looking for a Toe

Back In The Saddle

I agree that you don't want to even be looking at travels, etc. out of your area. In one of my first seasons I "helpfully" called a backcourt violation...from lead. And I got the call wrong. I too have had to train myself to not call stuff in my partner's pond when I see it, unless it's the proverbial elephant.

But would it be the next step in the progression from padowan umpire to Jedi referee (tm) to be aware of when there are situations where a single, well-timed glance into your partner's pond might put you in a position to help the crew?

It's a question I'm asking myself too.

From my long version pregame, regarding a shot from that gray area, foul line extended, on the lead's side:

Two-Point / Three-Point Shot
If one official incorrectly signals the number of points, the other official will simply blow the whistle immediately, discuss the play with our partner, come to a decision, signal the correct number of points to the table, and resume the game.
