From a fans standpoint it was a good game. There were several lead changes with the the final score being a 4 point game.
From an officiating standpoint it went well but there were a few instances where we made a mistake. I missed an OOB call where as the T on the press the girl dribbled on the sideline under pressure from two defenders. I had the rear defender and the girl dribbling between me and the ball. Apparently she dribbled on the sideline. Of course this happened within 2 feet of the opposing coach.
The big mistake (near mistake) of the night was the "almost blarge". I am T and girl is dribbling on the wing behind the 3 point line on my side. She drives to the middle of the floor and there is contact with her primary defender between the 3 point line and free throw line. I hit my whistle and put my fist in the air. I start the fist point the other way and about halfway through I see my partner coming out signalling block. I let my arm drop midway through punch. We come together. He tells me it was block bc on the side opposite of me defender extended her knee into the defender. He reports the foul. Coach wants explanation bc he seen me. He is given explanation. He takes that fine but was upset about girl dribbling on line, which wasn't my partners line. Of course these happened on back to back plays.
Other negative note of the night was a girl after catching the ball near the free throw line went down with what appeared to be a serious knee injury. As soon as her legs planted to stop, it bucked and she was in severe pain. I hope not but it looked to be a classic ACL injury.
