I saw a few things which I had questions about (with the proviso that I'm still a newer official and could not see what the refs saw):
1. Saw quite a bit of uncalled hand checking far away from the basket. I know it's a POE in Kansas this year. My question for the vets is how do you know when to call it?
2. Post play roughness. First game, I saw perhaps 5-6 instances when something should have been called. Again, how do you vets decide?
Couple of other things:
A. Gyms were as loud as any I've ever been in. Could never hear the horn.
B. Second game, one official was the spitting image of this guy. 
He also had a large splint and wrap on his left arm. |
It's called big boy basketball, especially with city teams
