Balls bouncing after it bounces off of the rim and my partner called a travel no shot - and the kid punches the ball and screams loudly.... I didnt have time to think.. :whistle in mouth - make t- sign - blow sharp blast on whistle: Ok ...


Coach says something that made me go huh... to the effect of "how can you guys not call this junk, are you blind, or just not blowing the whistle"? Close ball game - balls still out of bounds.. he's standing maybe 2 feet away from me - ball goes out of bound. I turn and look at him and said quietly so only he and I could hear... "Coach at half time we decided we were going to let the players decide this ball game for themselves... What you just could have earned you a T. My partner and I are working as hard as we can out here all I'm asking is that you work with us and choose your comments more wisely so that the players do decide this ball game." he sat down and didnt say a word to us for the rest of the game. His team stayed with-in 2 for the rest of the ball game after they closed the 10 point defict they put em in ... so... A t could have either furthered thier defecit or turned aroun and inspired them to play harder.... The T was EASILY justified... but sometimes - my automatics need to change. I've been labled as trigger happy by some officials in my area... But I try so hard to not give them but usually get backed into a corner where I have to.
