Got me in trouble on a play last night. Apparently he called a foul on the defense near the top of the key, but no one the players or me heard the whistle. Kid drives to the basket, runs over the defender, I call the charge. He runs over to me, saying, "I already called a foul." Really? I didn't hear a whistle or see a fist in the air.

I had a situation the other night that also led to problems. With 1.2 seconds left in a 1 point game, A1 drives baseline and there's a collision between A1 and B1 - the contact could have gone either way, or even been a no-call - one of my partners blows his whistle, waits, waits, then signals a player control foul.
A is obviously upset with the call, but probably would have accepted it a bit more easily had the L come up with a preliminary just a *bit* faster. I ended up having to T a rather well-respected former varsity player . . .
Thing is, this guy has pretty good calls, and will be a good ref - he just needs experience in making (and selling) the calls.
