Last week in a girls JV blow out in the fourth quarter, I called a blocking foul on a girl from the losing team for basically accidentally tackling her opponent. (H1 tripped as she was heading toward the ball handler and knocked the dribbler flat.) I whistle the foul as H1 is plowing through her opponent. H1 stays on the ground face down, loudly sobbing, her fiith foul too. She's not moving at all so I beckon the coach. Partner and I go out to center court. I tell him, she's not hurt, she's embarrassed from tripping. (This same girl broke into tears earlier when she took off for the wrong rim and I whistled her for over and back.) Sure enough, a minute later she's up and walking back to the bench. Next night's game she runs like a young gazelle.

The first time these two teams played, it was 88-30. So, well, ...
The team that scored 88? It was their only conference win (so far) this season. The home team is 1-18 and they won a nonconference game 60-12 against a team I've also seen this season.
