To be honest, I don't care if your mother came out either.

shooter runs the baseline and his teammate sets a screen as teh defender runs around the screener move into him and bumps him the shooter gets teh ball and makes the winning shot. Are you ok with the game being won that way, because you did not make the call.
That is chicken in my opinion.
Now dont call a little bump or a ticky tack foul.

Which way do you want it? Call the bump? Or don't call a little bump? I'm just asking.

And if you officiated such a great game why did he feel it necessary to come out on the court and tell you no to make that call.

At least three reasons:
1) It was camp. That's what happens at camp. The observer comes out to talk to you during TO's and halftime.
2) One of my partners had considerably less experience than my other partner and I had. He wanted to make sure that we all were on the same page.
3) He wanted to make sure that a well-officiated game to that point ended as a well-officiated game. With 15 years of experience, you must know that you are remembered for your last call. He wanted to make sure that we understood the last call has to be a good call.

And yes it might be not smart to make that call, I think you would get more respect by making the call if the call was there.

I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no idea what you're saying here. It's not smart, but call it anyway?
|
What i was saying is this, even if it is not the call everyone wanted you to make if it is teh right call make it and be proud when you walk off the court that no matter what you made the right call. and that you could care less what anyone else thinks.
You have the stripes, you took the test, you passed, you do varsity games correct if so you call the best game you can, and if you upset someone with the call you made so what. if you make this call half of the gym is going to love you half will hate you.
If you dont make the call how would you feel driving home knowing that you di dnot make that call at all.
