But you expect someone here to explain why an official made a call that he made.

I don't expect anything. I was hoping that a forum of officials might provide professional insight.

The comparison to fans watching a game is absurd.

I can explain it perfectly, it is girls basketball.

We can end this topic now.

Hey now! Some of us less fortunate referees don't have the choice of not working girls basketball.

Not a comment about the officials per say, it is just a raggedy play that has players falling over each other. That is all the explanation you need and the officials has to make a call. The official could have called just about anything and someone would be here wanting us to explain it to him or her.

BTW, what the hell does the official have on his wrist?

Peace

I also think the wrong official made the call here. This should have been something the C could have seen. I think the New Lead, turned Trail saw the last thing because he was straightlined. I do not blame him, we have players on top of each other and he missed the first action with all the back and forth. We even had a missed BC violation too.

A lot going on during this play.

No comment about the main topic; this whole thread is depressing.

But! No BC violation. It was close, but we had a dribbler and the ball never went back after finally gaining FC status. The last bounce before the ball came over touched the division line which is part of the BC. Or at least it was so close that I wouldn't have been 100% to make a call, especially right after a turnover like that where I'm not in a credible position to see it.

Maybe he has a heart problem and has to watch his pulse.

I hate that we are in an age where people with a cheap cell phone camera and a free youtube account can film a video clip like this and post it to the internet for the intention of embarrassing an official.

The officials on this game are clearly not working high level basketball (no offense to the OP's daughter, but the OP should check his level of humility, too), and are certainly not at a level where it is fair for them to be humiliated on the internet.

Missed call? Yes. But there were probably at least 20 others in that game alone.

It's not absurd. You may not like the comparison, but it's a natural response to being asked to explain why someone called what he did when all we get is 26 seconds. And none of us know him.
