First two girls games (JV/V) tonight (I was visiting book), and already two blowouts - 19-73 and 15-82.
Also experienced tonight:
(1) Fans who (surprise) still don't know the rules! My favorite was the "over and back" call during one of those funky dribbles into the frontcourt (apparently they don't know the 3pt rule).
(2) Confusion about 30 second timeouts, although the rule hasn't really changed other than the length.
(3) "That's a foul!" on incidental/non-existant contact.
Quick question: Several times during the JV game, the officials were having the players take throw-ins right under the basket. Should I have said anything? If so, to whom, where, and when?
Here's to a season that can only get better!
