Anyone read that article in the March edition of Referee Mag called "Moment of Truth". I had one that slipped by me this week in a rec game. The article said that basically in every game there is a moment of truth where YOU can help keep a game from sliding into one big mess.
Mine was Wednesday when I was working an 11th / 12th grade rec game. 3 min into the game A1 grabbed a board and then when B1 approached, A1 created unnecssary contact by lowering his shoulder to in effect push him away. Moment of truth. Since it was rec, you have probably guessed correctly that B1 retailated with some body back. Did we spiral from there...you bet. I should have called PC on A1 right away. I didnt. I froze. It's been on my mind all week too even though it was Rec. Of course I called the retaliation but it was on from there. 20 fouls and 2 ejections for fighting later we finished our wrestling errr basketball game.
Any moment of truth stories out there? What did you do or not do?
