[Back In The Saddle]

Had my best call of the year tonight. You know the times when you see things as if they are in slow motion? (I think more research into vision/perception should be done.) I had a guard on the home team take off on a layup just above the bottom of the bubble (airborne shooter). The visiting guard is just camped out waiting for him, great position, shoulders squared. Seemed like a 3 second wait for the shooter in my mind to come down. Shot is released, shooter comes down on B and they both crash to the floor. Bang! Signal charge, wave off basket, we go the other way. Home crowd goes nuts! It's a great feeling to report to the table a foul that you had nailed all the way.

Forks,

If you're interested in some research that's been done on vision, Kent Holm did a very interesting, well researched series on vision and football officiating over on the pay side. Check out: http://football.officiating.com/x/article/4281
