GregR072,

How did officiating quality drop in the second game? I have found that back-to-back 3-person games isn't that taxing physically.

Being a ref who does both boys and girls in Washington, the rules differences are very minor. What were the adjustment problems?

I personally felt that at times we lost focus in the second game, especially when the first game may have been very intense, and the 2nd game was sloppy, or a blow out. I had evaluators tell me this as well. I do agree with you that back to back 3-person games is not that taxing physically though. I just think we could have done a better job.


The rule differences were more of a nit-picking thing on my part. Every time in a girls game I'd start the 10 second count in the backcourt out of habit. Of course I always stopped, but it was an adjustment. Not that big of deal but a little thing that can make a difference.
