oob or ib

When an officials cannot determine if the ball landed in or out, then a replay is given. Basically a no-harm no-foul type play. Hopefully the linejudge can see the ball land but I have found that in the middle school games it is difficult to find good line judges. Adults should be used but the norm is to used two of the "kids" from the home school. Getting them to move to see around players is difficult at that age. Gennerally they don't know the game or they would be on the court playing. With just one official it is impossible to see thru the players and since we are located in one place with little freedom of movement, we have to rely on someone elses eyes to see those things that we can't. If they also can't see it then we just do it again...our "possession" arrow is always pointing to the team who served last. Maybe you should volunteer for lines next time! It's a very good seat, but there are some things that you can't see from there...
