Boys' varsity on Saturday night...
First half...close game...2-person mechanics...I'm L and call a foul in the lane on a missed shot against the visitors. Home team goes to the line for 2 shots. Home coach gives me a usual dirty look...and I can't figure out why. We go down to the other end after the FT's. Similar play happens...I call a foul on home team. Visitors are going to the line for 2 FT's. As I'm reporting, home coach, "Jeesh!! That's the same exact foul you just called down there!!!"
I was dumbfounded! And then, I almost laughed. I decided I wasn't going to listen to this guy at all. I wanted to say, "Similar play, similar call. It's called consistency. You know, that thing you coaches are always whining for!"
