Thanks for the list!
OK, here we go:
Clark you forgot the "MONEY" calls:
Pushoff by offense on a fronting player during the entry pass.
--havent had one, becuase I have had mostly JV girls games and havent had much fronting of a post player. But having played Center I would definately call that bad boy!
The backside hold by the defender on an entry pass.
--Yep. Called that one is a boys JV game.
The subtile push in the back on a high entry pass that keeps the post from catching the ball.
--Not quite. I called a push on a high entry pass, but the push wasnt in the back (ie arms on back) it was lower leg rooting by the defender trying to push the post player out of her spot. So I guess mine wasnt so subtle, but I got one. I almost rang up a girl for forearm in the back last Saturday on a high post entry pass, but the pass never came. I saw the arm in the back and the girl on the wing motioned a pass but didnt pass it. I was ready.
Offball grabs and chucks on cutters.
--I need to be better on this. I have warned two or three times "hands off on the cuts" but I have yet to ring one up. Most of the time it is the post player ball side screening away low setting a crappy pick on the opponent on the opposite post to free the opposite post offensive player to come across low to ball side. The girls dont set the best picks so hands get involved. But every time after warning it has cleaned up. But this is on my short list of things I need to be better about watching for.
Player runs through or throws the screener.
--finally got one last Saturday.
The inside arm grab and pin.
--Nope. Again, with mostly girls JV games I havent really seen this. But in the two boys JV games I have done I am sure it was happening and I wasnt seeing it (since I used to do it at that level
)
And the MONEY of all money calls, an illegal screen with the ball in your primary.
--again, just got my first one this saturday and i felt good that i got it. but it was kind of easy (as compared to the situation you are describing as money) since the illegal screen was set next to girl with the ball, so it was easy to watch the ball and to also see the off ball screen. I presume you are saying this is a money call because it is hard to both watch the ball in your primary and to see illegal screening action. Frankly, there was no good reason to have set that other screen so that is what drew my attention to it. I saw the girl coming to screen and thought it was for the dribbler, then when she set it on the high post defender, not the defender on the dribbler, I noticed it and saw her set it and then push the girl out.
This one was actually a funny story. The crowd was really vocal and all homers. No visitors. Ball handler A1 gets by her girl B1 while teammate A2 sets an illegal screen on another defender B2 at high post. I whistle it, fist up, say "blue ball" to my partner and indicate out of bounds. Guy in crowd who had been yelling all night goes "terrible call" thinking I called offensive on the dribbler I guess because I said "blue ball" to my partner after I whistled. When I reported I said "white, A2, illegal screen, blue ball." The guy goes, "oh, that was a good call." It was kind of funny.
