We all mistakes from time to time. The important this is that we learn from our mistakes.


A couple of years ago "The Preacher" and I were officiating a girls' regional AAU tournament. It was early in the first half of our sixth and thankfully our last game of the day, when, on an sideline throw-in (and I was the administering official), A1 inbounded the ball to A2. A2 caught the ball with both feet touching the playing court. A2 then proceeded to hold the ball under her left arm while she lifted her left foot and rubbed it off with her right hand, she then returned her left foot to the floor, shifted the ball to her right hand, and lifted her right foot and wiped the bottom of her right foot with her left hand and then returned her right foot to the floor. Yes, it was traveling but I had a brain fart and did nothing. Team B's assistant coach looked at me with a puzzled look on his face and made a very small traveling signal. I shook my head no. About minute later it dawned on me that A2 had indeed traveled. At half time B-AC, Daryl, and I had a good laugh about. We all agreed that it had been a long day and that Daryl and I would not ever miss that call again.
