I guess I'm not half as good a referee as I thought I was!
Maybe I need to go back to the YMCA games!
I just like to try and get a flow going to a game. I don't like to be over-officious which to me is completely going by the book every time, all the time. I cannot call a foul on a passer when I can tell the pass is going to a wide open teammate for a layup (even though technically it is a foul). If a player barely touches the line throwing the ball in after an opponent's basket with no backcourt pressure.....it isn't that big a deal to ignore it (if he steps on it or in the court..call it...use common sense). stuff like that. Am I that wrong in thinking that way? No one that assigns my games have ever had a problem with the way I officiate....always get a high ranking....so I must be doing something right. Maybe I just don't translate on the computer well......
I stick to the rules. I enforce the game. I manage the game. I keep it fair,.. try not to let anyone get hurt. Not every foul is a foul in my opinion and different games call for different styles of officiating. Some players can bang a little, some can't. Advantage/disadvantage is important isn't it?
