I was visiting my daughter who attends UNCG and got to see the game you are talking about in person. (Double Header too - wasn't I lucky to have picked just that weekend to satisfy my basketball fedish, Opps,I mean to visit my daughter)

I had notice earlier the ref was counting in the backcourt and was wondering what he was counting. Fortunely both coaches took it well. The UNCG coach laughed and the Georgia Southern coach just nodded his head OK when the call was explained. How embarrasing to make that mistake in a televised game.

I often find myself continuing to count long after the ball has crossed the division line. Do any of you do that too?
Also, those of you who might referee high school and small college games, do you have any problems keeping the NFHS and NCAA rules straight?

How about media time outs? I have enough problem keeping the regular time outs straight in my head without worrying about the media wants and needs. That seems to be another ball game altogether. How many of you have experience with media time outs, and what problems do they bring into the game management aspect of the contest?
