Bill,
Absolutely agree, if the crew judged that the foul occurred after the change of possession, then Replay can’t get involved. That’s where having him on the O2O system would become valuable, so he could just ask, without having to interrupt play. If they say ‘during the loose ball,’ then he could suggest they re-think the enforcement. If they then stick with the erroneous enforcement, he could ‘buzz’ them and make the correction.
Sadly, I can speak from experience that, had someone - RO, chain crew, ball boy - suggested that we reconsider the penalty enforcement, I don’t think I’d have made a very nearly identical error. But, it was our error, with nobody else to blame. (This was prior to the advent of O2O systems.)
