Recent unbeckoned substitute
Last Thursday (Girls' Varsity) I called a foul, and as I was beginning my report, the excited defensive sub, who had checked in, ran onto the floor and into position in front of the player she was to guard.
I finished my report and held up a stop sign to my partner, who was baseline and ready to administer the throw-in, while I stepped toward the unbeckoned sub and said, "You should wait to be beckoned onto the floor. In many polite circles, you will have earned a technical foul."
I trust she'll remember that instance without having been whacked.
