asdf? Read what I said. I know he had to have done it just with how the game's been going, his attitude, aim, etc. but I just simply did not see it with my back to the floor.

If he'd done enough prior to this that you KNEW he was going to do it, then there likely was an opportunity to correct his behavior prior.

If he'd done some things that indicated he MAY do something stupid, then you don't KNOW that he committed an intentional or flagrant act.

If you're afraid to take care of bidness, you've forfeited the right to whine about it afterward.

I'm going to quibble with this little JR gem, the spirit of which I agree with completely.

No one has a right to whine: those who take care of bidness don't need to whine, and those who fail to take care of bidness don't deserve to.

As for the OP: come on, you can't call what you didn't see. It's just not that hard a principle to understand.

OK...I admit I'm new, but how could you KNOW he had done it without seeing it?

It was a very light shove that just talking to him should have calmed him down.

When I said out of control and all, he wasn't doing anything illegal,

So he wasn't really out of control.
We've already mentioned that you can't make a call based on what you know in your mind happened. I'll add that you can't make a call solely based on previous behavior; especially an escalated call like intentional or flagrant.

You did good by refraining, although again, I wouldn't have even brought it up to the partner if I hadn't seen the action.

Wow...glad I'm not a defendant in your court room Your Honor.

Representing, I appreciate your posts because they are usually entertaining but this just doesn't sound good for you. 😀

Never guess – It’s much easier to explain to coach that you didn’t get a good look at it (for whatever reason) than to try to explain something that may not have happened.

BTW, when you fell, were you back peddling or running forward with your shoulders/upper body turned?

😀 Good question.

...
What should I have done? In my mind I KNEW he committed at least an intentional foul, but I didn't actually see it since I tripped. The player was acting all wild and out of control for the previous minutes up until this point, even took out his anger on a player by lightly shoving him. I gave him a warning for that, saying to chill out and knock it off. So it was one of those "you know it's going to happen, just a matter of when" moments.

After seeing this I could no longer take this post seriously.

Well, actually I stopped doing that a while ago. But I still like to read the scenarios. But this one is bull. He's making it up just to get a rise out of the forum.

Everything....

In just a little less than 2 months, you have had more things happen to you than in most official's careers.

Doesn't happen that way....

Apparently it does then. You don't know me, so how can you say I'm making this stuff up? I don't make stuff up unless I say something like "just thought of a situation". If I say "this happened tonight", then it did happen.

In a former association we had an official like that...he constantly got himself into trouble!

No one who has been officiating 6 years and is getting varsity games would post the stuff you post.

But, that's just my opinion, Old School.

I am at the point where I now am claiming Bullsh!t !! on your posts.... Nobody has this much crap happen to them in a month and a half.

If it does, it's time to figure out why, and I'm sure it isn't the fault of someone else every time.

Hey, I think that representing is a female!!!! It has to be true.

Think about it....

Seems to be missrepresenting more than representing.

I was pretty sure V1 committed a flagrant act.

I asked him why he didn't call at least an intentional.

...trust your partner.
