In 38 games this year:
Two T's to players at the middle school level...
1. First T player thinking he was fouled looks in my direction and yells outloud "D*AMN it!"
2. Second T is in a 7th grader boys game...was for a player, who threw his hands in disgust in front of me after a call. Might have to be a HTBT moment, but I felt it was an easy T
Three T's in BJV games for comments towards me or my partner...
1. Technical foul happened when a player (on the winning time up by 20 points at the time), stole the ball. He loses control after creating contact with the then defense and loses the ball. As we transition back down the court, he looks at me and yells out loud, "You need to call a foul!" Pretty easy T.
2. B9 game...B1 fouls A1 on a fastbreak. Easy call for my partner. B1 after the call goes to the padded wall on the endline and punches it in fustration. Whack!
3. B9 game...A1 drives down the lane and is blocked by B1. A1's momentum after the block carries him to the floor.There was slight contact and A1 thought he should of gotten a call. While on the ground, he slams the floor with two hands and yells, "That's a foul." Bam, easy T.
One T given to a player who for some reason reached across the endline and contacted the ball while the thrower-in was running the endline.
One T in B9 for comments at another player.
!. B1 rebounds the ball and A1 tries to get a jump ball but grabs an arm in the process. I call a foul. Little extracuricular activity... I come in to try and defuse the situation, but as I'm coming in, A1 tells B1, "Don't come in here with that weak s***."
Two T's to head coachs...
1. One T for a coach during a G8 tournament game. A1 drove into a B1 with LGP, bounced off B1, ball bounces off A1 and in the process, A1 gets injured. Tried to beckon the coach to help her injured player, but the coach just spent her time arguing about the call and not attending to her player. In fact, she just stayed at her bench. After more complaining about the call, my partner and I tell her that's enough. She continues, and in the process is trying to incite the crowd and is subsequently hand out a T.
2. Second T was in a BJV game where the coach was asking for 3 seconds early and often in the second quarter. On this particular play, his oppenent scores, and while his team inbounds the ball, he leaves his coaching box, and yells outloud at me about having to call 3 seconds. I was opposite table site, and it was loud enough for everyone to see it. Had no opportunity to give the coach any sort of warning. Easy T. What made it even better was the fact that the varsity officials were there watching the first half and were completely behind the call.
