ahem, let me see if I can describe this accurately:
Player A lays down a good break to the right pocket putting a couple of balls in front of his pocket
Player B jacks up and plays a safety that freezes the CB to the top of the stack and drives two balls in front of his pocket
Player A then takes an intentional foul but mistakenly puts a penny on the left pocket
Player B takes an intentional back, sees the first penny on the left pocket and mistakenly puts his penny on the right-side pocket
Player A shoots a safety up table but leaves a shot
Player B takes the shot, runs four into the left pocket, pays the owed ball, but then puts the remaining three balls into the right side tray where he originally put his penny by mistake and removes the penny
Player A, a few shots later, gets loose, sees the remaining penny, and runs four into the left pocket and plays safe. (Player B is not paying attention and says nothing during the run.) When Player A goes to put the balls in his tray he suddenly realizes he shot at the wrong pocket and Player B has his balls on the wrong side
What’s the call?
And yes, these are two pretty good, experienced players who just weren’t paying enough attention and got fooled by the pennies.
