These are the kinds of rules I am talking about uniformly enforcing. I just picked the breaking of the plane because that happened to be a rule I saw the biggest inconsistencies in the interpretation. I just think that we as officials have to be on the same page so things like the taped ears or tape over the metal barretts etc. don't get called a different way every night.
In reference to my first T. My partner usually ends up whacking the coaches and I seemed to get the players. We rarely hear anything from the coaches here in Northern Minnesota. In fact that is only our second T of a coach this year in over 30 varsity games. The ironic thing is he got the boys coach of the school and I got the girls assistant coach last night. I think most coaches realize when you are working hard as officials and are in position to make the calls. Also, all they want is a consistently called game whether you call it tight or let more go. Just so they know what will be called. We tend to call it tight. As long as the players and coaches know that a foul in the first minute will be a foul in the last minute provided it isn't a blow-out.
Keep 'em "straight up"
