Coaches vote affects our postseason assignments so a lot of refs here don't buckle up and just whack the guy cuz 1) we would get a bad vote and 2) we don't have support from a supervisor, the school could easily make sure we never come back there. It sucks but it is what it is. So as the young guy on the crew I decided to just ignore the persistent comments and let my partners do the dirty work if they chose to do so. They didn't which is a shame, but I did at least warn the coaches and they were a little better after that. Our system of warning coaches here is a little different than the college game where when a coach has been warned no one can talk to him again except the guy who warned him. I see partners over the hobnobbing with coaches I have warned all the time. You bet I have the intestinal fortitude to take care of insanity or profanity, but in this case I chose to ignore the persistent comments. |

Nope, admins were at table and they were ones who advised only two timeouts after book told me coach was out. I thought it was silly but thems the breaks for not reading the rules sheet. Coach was not upset, he just shrugged it off. I wish I had a cool signature |

What led you to this mechanic? Just curious.
I understand a lot of people feel the need to alert players in these congested areas (especially defenders who may have their backs to the ball) that play is about to resume. I see a lot of guys yell "Play" or "Play it!" just before administering the throw-in, as an alternative to adding more whistles to the game. I've adopted the "Play" version on the advice of a veteran NCAA Division II men's official on our board. |

Hey Everybody, We're Gonna Shoot A Free Throw ...
Anybody sound their whistle before a free throw after a timeout?
I believe that IAABO mechanics require this, but we only have a few guys that actually do it, and I'm not one of them. NFHS mechanics?

Yes. After TO, official to indicate play is to begin by whistle. I'll hit whistle and then give "two shots" etc. and bounce ball to FT'er. But I'm in minority on this.

Since you asked...
Last night...first regular season G-V game. I call a shooting foul on V1. I'm tableside in front of her bench reporting. Her coach says to her "that was the correct call on you". She walks past me and says to her coach loud enough for the whole bench and table to hear: "No it wasnt. That was a terrible call". Whack! First game...first T of the season. Hope it's not an omen.
