Freshman Girls B Tourny. These teams were assemebeld for girls who we'rent getting enough play time and they're a few select tournys for them this season. Well.... half-way though first quater I notice an extra girl on the bench - Coach has her at the table - book says "shes not in there" (very quietly too - usually the book hollars something like that) I asked the coach how the girl was left out and she said - her grandmother was in the hospital this morning and she wasnt on the bus so i forgot about her and yeah- its a tech so just give it to me." Very quietly i tlel the book to add her in the book. the other coacch kinna knew what was going on and just kinna gave me a nod of approval at what I had done. At the end of the game as I was walking to the table the other teams coach came up to me and said" when you get to the varsity level and u need a pref list, let me know because that was a good thing you did." Jokingling she added "If i wasnt so impressed by your officiating I woulda been raising hell" -
I agree with an earlier post... pick you battles.
I do realize I should have given the technical to the team because it is my job to enforce the rules mandated to us by the NFHS and the local associations... but yeah
