1st game of the day close game all the way, partner and I worked it hard.
After game the a spectator from losing team approaches me and says "You and your partner could not have been anymore obviously biased against our team." Followed by "That was the biggest bunch of bullsh!t"
Insult me and question my integrity??? I told her to leave the building immediately and summoned gym-supervisor (game mgmnt) and they escorted her out. These teams play multiple games in a 2 day tournee and she was not allowed back for the rest of the games. She attempted to attend a later game and was told she was trespassing if she did not leave. Buh-bye.
-----------------------------------
Later game. Last few seconds of OT, tie game. Team A gets it in and as A1 attempts the mid-court hail-mary to win B1 nails him. I call the foul and B-Coach almost has an aneurysm. A1 goes to the line for 3 free-throws with .2 seconds on the clock. B-coach ices him with timeouts in between each shot but he still sinks 2 of 3. On the inbound B gets it in and time expires. A wins.
B-Coach says to me "HOW DO YOU CALL THAT FOUL???"
(Not how could you call that a foul?, not how is that a shooting foul?)
He wasn't questioning the foul itself, just why I would call it!!! I guess he felt officials should allow a game to go into another OT rather than call em as we see em. I gave him the "Foul in the 1st minute is a foul in the last minute" speech and when he groaned I followed up with "You said it yourself. How could I call that "FOUL".
