I had to watch On ball, off ball, subs, clock, proper reporting, etc. It really made me see my strengths and weaknesses in a very short time. Not to mention it will lessen my fear of working alone in regular season situations. I wouldnt want to do this again anytime soon, but I do recommend everyone experience it at least once.  One team had apparently been coached to take charges... everytime the dribble drove to the basket they would scream and fall. After the third time of not getting a call, one player asked what he was doing wrong.... I said nothing, thats why there is no call. Had my first bleeder; lip and was wiping it on his jersey.... I appreciate all the help from this site. |
Cool story. You'll have another in your career, I'm sure.
Curious how you were watching foul reporting while you were doing foul reporting?
