I will have to agree with Hawks Coach on the reporting and also admit I have caught myself doing that twice during this, my first year. In the school district I work MS games in, they use a 10 minute running clock (except last minute of each quarter). The 2 times I did not use proper reporting mechanics were both late in tight games. Guess in my haste to not unjustly penalize the losing team by burning clock I may have caused problems for the table. I am working on that and keep reminding myself every time I blow the whistle "MECHANICS".
