I Think They Teach This

I see what you did there.

Interesting. I don't see it as bad to "look high school," but I'm not trying out for the RMAC, so....

Clinicians words not mine.
I'm not trying out for the rwac either, but just because I'm working MS ball tonite doesn't mean I have to look like a MS official does it?
I think the same holds true for college officials working a HS game... They still walk, speak, look & conduct themselves as college officials even though they are working a HS game.

Well considering I do 3 sports and there are a lot of "obvious rules" that teams and players never know are rules,

Like "kick, defer, receive?"

I did not suggest that you must do this or that everyone should do this, just what I tell my jumpers. I tell the jumpers other things too as it relates to me getting between them, but next thing you will tell me I cannot do that either. 😉

Peace

I only tell my daughter what she can & cannot do. I thought I said if you like it, I love it.
Do your thing!!

I understand the concept of looking professional.

I'm not, however, fond of using "high school" as a pejorative like your clinician did.

I overstand, this particular clinician knew what my aspirations were going into the camp game. He basically was saying if you want college supervisors to look at you, stop refereeing like a HS official & do what you see the staffers doing as it is what the supervisors like.

No diss on HS bball, I can't wait to get my sched!!

Yep. Or the coach or player not realizing if they make a pick off move to first base, while stepping off the base, that they would only get two bases and not one if the ball is thrown in dead ball territory. We could do this all day.

You made it sound like there was no rules support. Heck it makes little difference to me if you or anyone says nothing or says the same thing.

I think we worry here too much about what others do honestly.

I just say *tweet* & toss.

Wouldn't it be better if you actually sounded your whistle instead of saying "tweet"?

It must be a college mechanic.

Defending a goal is not a choice?

It goes along with "kick."

Does everyone announce direction and color? It is common in my area but I am not sure why.

As the R, I confirm with captains that their team is on the floor and ready to go. Then I whistle and toss. Probably less than 2 seconds between tweet and toss. Not much time to get in trouble. As a U, I keep my mouth shut and hope nothing blows up.

Personally, I think a jump ball is a terrible way to get a great start to a game but a great way to get a terrible start to a game.

IAABO requires this to be announced.

FIBA does not.

So if the wind is blowing 30mph from the north a team cannot state "we will defend the north goal" as their choice?

Yet many FIBA officials do it just the same. I don't.

To do so, they must first choose to kick. If they do that, they will likely start both halves by kicking.

Okay ... this is off topic. But a team COULD choose to defend a goal (choice "b" in 3-2-3) with the first choice and the other team could opt to kick with the remaining choice (choice "a").

Defending a goal does not automatically dictate you'll be kicking.

That is all.

We now return you to your basketball forum thread ... already in progress.

Obviously you've never met Abner Haynes. 😀

Google the 1962 AFL Championship game.
