Well lately I have been doing a quite a bit of college women's games and the NCAA makes it relatively easy on us when dealing with bench technicals and just picking up at the point of interruption. Well last night I had this happen in a HS game...
I was with another relatively new official that was doing a really good job on judgement and calling what needed to be called, bot not getting ticky-tacky.
Well after the 3rd quarter, the losing coach (whos girls weten't playing worth a crap) starts jumping my co about a foul he thinks should have been called on his shooter. The girl heaved a 3 from about 30 feet away, and her forward momentum caused her to crash into a defender who had arms straight up and was stationary.
Well I knew my co was a bit green in this area, and the coach was a relatively young guy (early 20s) who had been coaching hard, begging occassionally, but now he had crossed the line and stomped the floor and scremed "what was that" really loud where the whole gym could hear him.
My co tried to calm him down but I calmly walked across the floor and told my co "I got him, Brandon" and Td him
I was really calm and here is where I messed up I think..the arrow was set toward white (the coach who got Td) for the throw in to begin the 4th quarter. I wasn't sure if they lose it or not, so I told the other coach that I really wasn't sure, (he wasn't either) and I told him also that NCAA just goes with the point of interruption on all Ts and that is what I was going to go with and he said fine.
So I let white throw it in to begin the 4th..........messup?
