Re: Missed Inbounder Assists

I think we can all agree that no one is perfect. The referees are humans and they often make mistakes that doesn't affect anything in the grand scheme of things. But when a call goes against you, it feels like you have used cheated out of something.

I know a few people who volunteered their time to be referees and if there is one thing I know about them, it's that these individuals are smart and pay attention to the most minor details. Am I saying that they made no mistakes? No! I'm sure they contributed to the "inconsistent calls" but if they made such mistakes, I know for a fact that I would not be a perfect referee in their stead.


Instead of discussing things you can't predict (such as whether refs will be consistently incorrect or inconsistently correct) it maybe more beneficial to think of ways to help these individuals make correct decisions.

I quickly glanced over the thread and I saw someone mention how they informed the refs of pin possessions to get the assists. That is something that actually changed something. The refs were able to make a correct call because the action was brought to their attention.

If a ref misses something, bring it to their attention and they will not make that same mistake twice. If you are trying something novel, talk to the refs/head ref beforehand to make them aware of what they should look for!
