Worked the #1 girls team in the state tonight....something
must be in the water because they were not themselves and had a play similar to your (2 in fact). They turned the ball over more than I've ever seen them do. Several overthrown passes that sailed OOB.
They had a spot throwin in the frontcourt. The ball is handed to the thrower. Then along comes another thrower who steps OOB and takes the ball from the 1st thrower. You'd think they'd know that they couldn't do that.
They had another thowin after a made basket where the girl grabbed the ball, hopped in the air towards OOB, threw the ball down the court for a fast break, then stepped OOB.
They were up by 30 in the 4th and the coach was going crazy about no-calls. One, I would have called in a closer game. It was a guard getting bumped at the top of the key as she passed the ball. It was hard enough to knock her down but the ball made it to a player who was wide open for a 10-12' jumper. I passed, he wanted the foul, being quiet loud about it all but not saying anything particular that was offensive. Bear in mind, this was after a 30 foul first half and a 2nd half count that was nearing 20 with distinctly more being called against the losing team. I talked to him a bit and got him to settle down. Next trip back to his end, his player scores a 2' put back. On the way down, a defender got a little closer such that there was some minor body contact. Nobody down, maybe caused the shooter to shift over 3-4". Absolutely no advantage. He goes ape again......whack!
Something
must have been in the water. Why would any coach be worried about minor contact with a 30 point lead in the 4th quarter.
