Just getting some frustration out, let me know if didn't do something right.
Had a good 8th grade CYO game, both teams very good. Tie game with 13 seconds left, H has the ball, V has one foul to give and they foul the ball handler. 6.6 seconds left, I inbound the ball near the table as the T, after a couple of seconds of dribbling, the player drives the lane, gets by his defender, but 2 others collapse and he pulls up for the shot. One of the defenders arm comes across the shooters arms, preventing him from finishing the shot. I blow my whistle, raise my fist, and have a foul. 1.2 seconds left. My partner has nothing. Of course the V crowd and coach go crazy. We administer the free throws, he makes the second shot, giving the H team a one point lead. V calls a time out, V coach walks towards me on the court yelling. I T him up. H makes 1 of 2 and in bounds the ball, game over. After the game, my partner tells me, there was definitely a foul, but he was not going to call it.
I am not calling some ticky-tack foul or anything, this prevented the shooter from shooting the ball.
I was already a little pissed off with him earlier when form the L position, tried to call an over and back. H had the ballball deep in their corner being double teamed, he throws the ball out to the top high, it gets tipped up and on the way to the backcourt. The player jumps from the front court, tips the ball back to the front court, and lands in the back court. My partner whistles and comes out from the baseline saying he has an over-and-back.
I ran to him telling him, no no no. I then hated what I said next, saying THAT IS MY CALL! The opposing coach even was saying it was not an over-and -back. So he backed off his call and we ruled it an IW, giving the ball back to H team since the V had not gotten control before the whistle ( V caught the tip back to the front court).
