4th year official - 3 years varsity experience
Wow...officiating Varsity ball after only one year of experience. Are you talking H.S. Varsity? If so, that's pretty dang good. It took me 3 years to get a full J.V. schedule.
a home team player dove in late (after the whistle) and very aggressive
In this situation it would have to be VERY late and VERY aggressive...otherwise I would pass.
Whack T. 5th foul player was disqualified.
Also, I've got an intentional foul after the whistle...not necessarily a T. (Two shots and the ball but different terminology)
Oh yeah!...Home team had never been beat on their home court (2 or 3 years).How in the heck do you know that...did you have a son playing or something?...I don't EVEN know the records of the many Middle Schools around the town...let alone for the past 3 years.
Just a few observations.

Dude,
I'm not saying by any means that I am a great official. Heck, I can admit that I need lots of work on mechanics,judgement,court awareness and especially to learn to referee the "D" more.This was only my second game of the season and I'm sure I missed plenty last night. We are stretched pretty thin in my area and lots of officials get a chance to show they can make it early on, especially since we are strictly three man mechanics in HS varsity. So I got my shot and I'm trying to make the most of it. The T could have been an intentional instead, I agree. My partner and I talked about that very thing on the way home. Good point ! BTW, my partner had a whistle for this play as well as it was very late. Regarding knowing the record of the school, a partner that I work with sometimes has kids that goes to school there. He called me today and we were talking about the incident. He told me they had never been defeated there and I then thought maybe that was the gas that started the fire?
