I totally agree. Although I think most of us have at least one game like this during the latter part our formative years. I know I did. It was late in the fourth quarter, the home team was getting killed, we'd already fouled out four of their starters, and I'm still having to call a lot of fouls. I even called a T with about 1:30 remaining. I hated that game, hated how it didn't flow, hated how it ended, and spent days racking my brains trying to figure out what more I could have done.
But it's all part of the learning process and now I know what you know: some games are just like that and all you can do is call the fouls.
I still hate those games.
