Okay so the punchline
This happened in my State Game this year. First whistle out of the gate, about 50 seconds into game time. I was the Old Trail, new Lead.
I was hauling down the court to beat the play and receive it. I beat the play down, but wasn't exactly standing still when the illegal contact occured.
I popped my whistle and hold for a second. I don't hear another whistle, I don't see my partner, so I assumed he didn't make it and I was a solo whistle. So I show "Block". I then see my partner, the C, who was blocked from my view by the offensive player and of course, he's signaling "Player Control"
My first ever BLARGE and it happened as the first whistle in my first ever State Game. Ugh. Humbling experience.
I'll try to post video of it, for those that are interested. I took a great deal away from that game in my video breakdown after the game.
You'll be happy to know that we bounced back in a big way after this embarassing moment. I can also tell you, that for a period of about 2 or 3 trips up the court and down the court, my body felt extremely hot. I had to mentally get that play out of my head and I just saying "Get the next one right".
