Had a Blarge Last Night

[rockyroad]

Sigh...NCAA-W game. I'm L. Drive along baseline on my side, right in front of me...big crash. Defender jumped in there after offensive player went airborne so I have block all the way...hear another whistle and look up to see my C - from the freaking other side of the court punching an offensive foul signal...we get together and she readily admits she didn't see the play, just the players on the floor, didn't hear my whistle and "felt something needed to be called." Another sigh...got it all worked out, went with the block, let visiting coach vent a little bit, and finished the game...had a nice, long discussion in the locker room. There's a first time for everything...

Frustrating thing is that we discussed in pre-game the need for the outside officials to have a very patient preliminary signal on double whistles so this wouldn't happen...she said she "just got caught up in the excitement"...oh well...
