Couldn't believe they said by doing those things I created a game interrupter!
Had we stuck to the script it would've been much smoother.
I gave the C my toss to create a team atmosphere as he was the vet & I can tell he doesnt appreciate not being the R when we work together.
My pregame was stomped on by the C & many officials in the stands have said it looked as though the C was trying to take over the game well before that situation came up.
I work with the T again on Saturday & that's cool, but I dont know how to move forward with the C. he obviously doesnt respect what I do or he just says whether I'm the R or not, I'm running this game.
Thoughts?

Game interrupter, my a$$.
Last night we had a basket that made the game a 3 point game with 4 seconds left. *Both* teams asked for a timeout and I granted it to the team closest to me -- the team going on defense. Only problem was that the clock continued to run and the other team inbounded the ball and by the time I was able to get everything stopped, a full second had come off the clock. (I'm really glad I looked up and got the time when I granted the timeout, BTW.)
I went to my partner and told him what I was going to do, went to the table and gave my instructions to set the clock to 4 seconds, then went to *both* head coaches and told them. I even answered a question by an assistant (that was actually a good question). Game interrupter? My a$$. Everyone was entitled to know exactly why I was doing what I was doing. Your "partner" had no business putting time back on the clock without letting you and the third know exactly what he was doing and why. If you were asked by a coach after he puts time back up and you don't know why....that's just horrible.
This is the time when you want to make sure that absolutely everything is right. If you are the R on the game and you have a critical piece of information that changes how things would be administered, how do you think *that's* going to look to a supervisor/evaluator?
A comment like that simply pi$$es me off and I wasn't even there.
