Nope. This is not a direct answer, but these things might help you.
Let me give this a shot. I'll start with some and others chime in
- Don't call it if you don't see it.... not if you think you saw it or if it could have happened... only if you see it.
- Don't get too concerned with meaningless contact... like east-west ticky-tack stuff instead of play impeding the advancing the ball.
- 3 seconds could be a great call or a "clock killer" depending upon the circumstances.
- Just because it looks funny doesn't mean its a travel.
- Watch the defense.
- Over the back does not = on the back or displacement.
- Just because the coach is frustrated doesn't mean they deserve a T.
- Never go into a game looking for a specific foul or violation that you have in mind before the game. Call what you see and not what you want to see.
- Contact can be hard and still be legal.
- 10 players running in a confined area = contact. No way around it.
Add to it friends!
