Boys JV game - 1st of season for both teams. Schools are archrivals and mortal enemies. Partner and I are filling in for another pair because we had our varsity game rescheduled. We knew we were going to have to be at our best.
First foul called with only 3 seconds off the clock. We called - believe it or not - a new record at least for us - a total of 89 fouls that night.
The AD emailed this to us the following morning - congratulating us on keeping the game in control. Out of all the calls - the only comment/question from either coach came on a jump ball. He said my whistle was a little quick - that the players had to both grasp the ball for 2-3 seconds before that call could be made. I smiled and said I believed it was simultaneous possession and we were going with my whistle. He laughed and admitted that even if I was wrong it was kind a lame complaint in that game.
Anyone else with L O N G games this year?
