I worked a boys varsity game tonight in the top conference in the area.
Game was never really close. Ended up a 20 point game.
In the last two minutes, I had two encounters with coaches:
(1) I called a foul on a loose ball situation where a player got undercut as he was going up for the ball. The players landed awkwardly and both my partner and myself closed quickly on the players at it seemed like it had the potential for a little extra curricular activity. As we're cleaning up, my partner said, "black's shooting, right?" Yup, no doubt. So we saw the same thing. He was just verifying. As I was reporting, the head coach said, "Well, at least you're consistent. You've been awful all night."
(2) Ten seconds left, ball out of bounds in front of the bench. Coach makes a point to stand up, walk towards me, pat me on the back and say, "Great job tonight. Thank you."
Wanna guess which coach was up 20 and which one was down 20?
