I was doing a ms trio last night. 6th, 7th and 8th. Wow.. just wow. It was small gym and the crowd was right on top of you. maybe.. 50 people in the stands. Not that many, but they were LOUD. Deafeningly LOUD. I think my ears are still ringing.
Any way.. both coaches were screamers. Almost had my first T. A1 (Blue) driving down the lane. Going up for a basket and B1 (white) gets him on the arm. I call the foul. Whole place erupts. Coach is like "why??" I report and as I'm walking back to the other end I calmly say to the coach, "He got him on the arm coach" He start screaming as I walk away, "His feet were on the ground it shouldn't be a shooting foul" He kept screaming that over and over again.
I pointed to him and said "Coach thats enough!!". He stopped.
My partner had to tell the other coach to "Sit Down" on another call he made.
Also had another call.
A1 (white) Driving down the lane, B1 (blue) trying to get into posistion I'm ready to call the block, but at the last second A1 lifts his elbow right into the chest of B1. I call the player control foul. Place errupts. It was the right call IMO because of the elbow.
Anyway.. crazy night.. lots of fun though.
ps... confirmation please...
In the act of shooting doesn't mean the the player has to leave the ground.
