New 2-person mechanic... needed to switch!
Boys V game the other night. One team down 8 points or so with a couple of minutes to go, looking to foul. Not an uncommon scenario by any means.
Over the next 2 minutes I had 6 or 7 foul calls in a row, 4 against the same player!
Team A inbounds, dribbles/passes to near division line, foul by B1.
A1 goes to line, makes/misses, we go the other way, Team B looking to NOT foul, Team A with ball on rebound or after make dribbles/passes....
Rinse and repeat.
It didn't dawn on me until later that my partner and I could/should have 'forced' a switch. Not that there was any problem with coaches. Everybody was on the same page about what was going on. No acrimony table side, just too much repetition -- too much ME reporting fouls.
That is the first time all season where a deviation from the new mechanic seemed in order
