[TSW]

If you tell her it's the wrong ball and she was merely checking future angles or positions, now you've sharked her- making her feel self conscious and breaking her train of thought.

This is exactly why you should say nothing. In competition, I believe it is always wrong to speak up because of this possibility. You can never know if your opponent is checking future position or actually shooting until he or she pulls the trigger. If you yell out and you are wrong, now you're the shark.

In competition, this is not about being congenial. You have no duty to prevent your opponent's mental lapses. You do have a duty to not be a shark.
