Timekeeper and Scorer have a little 3'-nuthtin, cute blonde arrow operator (6-7 yrs/-old) sitting between them.
No problems thus far.
Beginning the 4th quarter, the arrow is pointed to Red.
Red throws in the ball and immediately get ties up. (2 seconds? gone.)
White arrow on the held ball. White ball.
4 minutes later... "held ball".
Puzzled Ref goes to table and tells them the arrow is wrong because it was Red all at the quarter and there were no other held balls.
Table looks puzzled ???
Ball is given to White.
White wins in OT by three.
How do we prevent this?
Yes, the ref was politely jumped after the game. Not for missing travels, not for questioning the arrow twice, but for a game that ran 36 minutes.

You had a game close enough for overtime. I am jealous my first two games of the season have been 35 and 40 point blowouts.

Mark T.,
I was only watchin'.
Just the good refs are workin' now.
Do you miss the mercy rule yet?
