Well, first year is almost over.

Today made me think I have a lot to learn. 4 games - Boys HS Rec.

1. 3rd game. This league has 2 x 20 min. halves with mandatory subs every 5 minutes. At one of these sub times, I administer a throw-in to the correct team but point the wrong way. The team goes the wrong way, into their back court and scores on the wrong basket. We missed the over and back violation, and gave the other team the basket. Correct or not? Rules book at work.

2. Same game. Red down 4 in last seconds, hits a three and the time runs out. Red coach goes nuts saying the clock stops on made basket in the last 2 minutes. I'm pretty sure that is the NBA rule, but NOT the Fed.

3. 4th game. Now it hits the fan. Very rough game, lots of contact, both teams in the double bonus early. Both teams complaining a lot, without rising to level of T. One no-call on a drive to the basket has red team bench going crazy. Warn the HC, kid drops the F-Bomb loudly,...T.

My question is how do you handle a very physical game? We called everything obvious.
