Two very embarrassing plays a long time ago in a Catholic Middle School League.

Absolutely no depth behind the endline in these very small Catholic middle school gyms.

I'm the lead, I'm watching for rebounding fouls on a shot from the top of the key. In my peripheral vision I see the net move in such a way that I thought that the shot went in. It was a very loose net and the successful attempt went straight out of bounds after one bounce. I'm waiting for the team that didn't score to pick up the ball for a run the end line throwin. Players are looking at me oddly. My partner sounds his whistle, and we discuss. Shot did not go in, it just flipped the net as the ball passed under the rim.

Another game. I'm the lead, I'm watching for rebounding fouls on a shot from the top of the key. In my peripheral vision I see the shot go directly out of bounds on my line as if shot from a cannon. I sound my whistle and point the other way. My partner sounds his whistle, and we discuss. Net was very loose, big hole in it, shot attempt went through the basket and kept going straight out of bounds with no bounce.
