Wonky. I love that.
Anyway, back before I officiated, I coached a Freshman boys team. The girls team was coached by a former volleyball player. She had no idea about rules or strategy. She had 5 players waiting at the table to sub into the game. After a period of a minute or two without a whistle (I know, how is that possible in a girls Freshman game?
), the coach yells, "SUBS!", makes the traveling signal (which is the signal for a sub in volleyball apparently) and tells all 5 girls to run onto the floor.
The official stopped play and sent them all back to the table. I honestly don't remember if any T's were called.
But the whole boys team laughed themselves silly. It was pretty funny. The only other thing I remember about the officiating in that game was that the girls kind of lost track of the clock at the end of one period and took a 70-foot shot with about 6 seconds left. It was well short of the basket. The other team caught the ball in their own backcourt and launched their own 70-foot shot before the horn sounded. As each shot was in the air, the official loudly announced "
Good if it goes!" Both times! Eesh.
