...and I'm not talking tires, here.

32-2 at the quarter. 63-5 at half. 85 -5 end of third. 116-9 at the end. Losing coach had the choice to do running clock second half. chose not to. Sheez, it got a little boring.

Padgett, take a wild guess who my partner was?!?! Beginning of the third quarter, white (miles ahead) steals the ball on the inbound, scores, red inbounds, gets to half court, white steals, scores, red inbounds, gets down into their key, white steals, fast break, white shoots and misses, red rebounds, Partner calls white time out. I didn't bother to say anything. But I knew Padgett would want to hear about it!
Juulie, if this was a close score late in the game, I'm sure you would have heard some complaints from the Red coach. Not to mention other officials or supervisor in the stands. Then your partner and you (remember you are a team)don't look good.
In a major blow-out situation like this, I tend to loose focus, and I'm sure if a time-out was called, i'd grant it no matter what. People make mistakes, a supervisor realizes that. And any supervisor or official who is publicly(sp?) complaining about the officiating at any game should not be supervising. Things are talked over with the officials after the game, not shouted at them during the game.
ref18 -- you're right, of course. But who was talking about a supervisor shouting at an official? I think Traveller meant that the supervisor would point it out later, and quietly.
Ref18 - Please have some faith in me! Juulie, thanks. You know after I posted that and read it I thought "geez, I hope nobody thinks I meant supervisor and officials getting on the refs during the game".
