Good Topic

This thread is right on time for me. I am on the sub varsity circuit and I have learned to blow my whistle. Now I am learning when to pass on a whistle.

My latest learning sitch was the other night. Boys frosh game. player A makes a lay-up. On the way back down to earth Player B gives him a little nudge with his hip. I didn't like it, almost whistled it but I passed. Sure enough the sitch is reversed and Team A gives a nice hard hip shot to Team B on their return to earth. I tweet that one.

The lesson I learned is to trust my instincts are whether it's passable or not. In retrospect I should have tweeted that first one but have been feeling pressured to call less fouls and I let that factor into my decision.
