From the home bench I hear the following...
HC: Travel... that's a travel...
Me: Couldn't be a travel coach, V1 never had control, it was a fumble & recovery...
HC: But.... I... I... I had a better angle...
Me: LOL and 
It really was a HTBT situation but I thought it was funny enough to share...
(The home team won by 6, but in was really close to going to OT) |
Reminds me of something that happened the other night.
I'm T tableside when ball is fumbled to the backcourt across the court. I hie down the other end with a good angle on the two players going after the ball. I see white give a good shove to red while going after the ball. I am in front of the home bench when I call the foul.
HC: What? Rita, Could you actually see that from here?
Me: Yes!
Then I report the foul.
Sheesh, if it had been the other way he would have had seen it perfectly as well.
