I love how it appears that many of you just want to make it so much more difficult than it is. enough trouble finds us in games that we dont have to go LOOK for more by really reaching and trying so hard to be RIGHT.
You are a basektball ref not a lawyer trying to get your client off the hook. you want to waddle in poop expect poop on your shoes. in this instance I am not ejecting, assessing T's, or even blowing my whistle at any of the kids. I get flames here constantly because I stress that you need to be able to manage games in difficult situations and thats what defines you as an official. Sometimes the letter of the law could get you in hot water -- I mean everyone could agree completly with what you did and you were supported by the letter of the law hypothetically -- but hey it could still leave a very sour taste in people mouth (and by that i mean colleagues and assignors). I am not saying do whats easy, I am saying do whats right. Finding a loophole to eject these 10 players isnt easy or right and its damn retarded. I would cringe if this happened in my game and my partner wanted to eject --
honeslty nevada I have never met anyone who reads so much into the rule book or tries to come up with ways in the rule book to justify some very funky unorthodox approaches to situations. sometimes the rules are just what they say they are -- to much thinking complicates things sometimes and thats what I see here. And I hope your last post was a joke.
BOB -- wtf with the "getting a drink of water" are you going to follow the kid?
