Impersonating an NBA ref (Video)

Mixing my favorite sport with my love of officiating basketball...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbRnCn-oU3M#t=271



BTW, I've never ebedded a video here, so I don't know how to do it. That, and I'm too lazy to keep checking on how.

Sad thing is, he's got better mechanics than some guys I've worked with...

That is pretty funny, and I agree his mechanics are better than some.

It's also clear to me that he's officiated basketball before. When he did the charge, he said, "Player control foul." Who else but a real official would know that?

He also did some of the goofy things we try to break new officials of, like pointing to the bench of the team committing the foul.

You only showed up to WIAA about 2000 or so, IIRC. That used to be the first signal in reporting a foul, after coming to a complete stop of course.
