My partner has called a backcourt violation! I blow my whistle and run up to him and explain to him that it can't be a backcourt violation without control. He agrees. He changes his call. I did not overrule him, but I sure as heck would have tried to overrule him in that situation if he had resisted. Get it right. Just another one of those times that makes me prefer a ref with good rules knowledge over one with amazing court presence (I prefer both, but given the choice......)

Why would an official who doesn't understand this very simple, basic, no-brainer of a rule regarding a backcourt violation, be placed in such a big varsity game with playoff implications?
Just wondering.
