He was out of time outs.
As Rich said, wasn't an issue all game until the end. Did have an issue with the coach being a clown taking 117seconds to get a sub in for a fouled out player. I wasn't the one administering the whole thing so I stayed out of it. V coach kept saying, "It's well past 20s." |

At the first horn I'll say "first horn, out on the second."

In case anyone is wondering what did happen: I was the lead official who gave the ball to V which ended up in an uncontested 2-pointer. At the time it seemed like the correct way to go after blowing my whistle and telling the coach I was starting(Then having him ignore me like he did the official telling him it was time to go). After I got home and thought about the play I regretted how I handled the ordeal. Was probably my most frustrating game(s) all season by a long shot, for several reasons. 1) The girls game was a great game, but was decided after I called a T on the home team. Girl was mouthing off after a call, which I let go. Then started talking again, which I let go. Then slammed the ball down for the entire world to see right in front of the V bench/fans. Couldn't justify letting that one go, so had to deal with the home fans calling me a cheater for the majority of the BV game. 2) Coach, who I gave the benefit of the doubt, asked a "question" which was really just wanting to tell me the foul I had was garbage and would I start making better calls. He only had five players, in his opinion, that knew how to play basketball. So he got upset at about half the foul calls. After my response to his statement that my calls were garbage he left me alone for the rest of the game. 3) The two minutes to replace a player drove me nuts. 4) He ran in front of my partner, on the court, to b**** about a foul he thought was a travel. I would've given him an easy tech here, but partner let him off the hook. The one interesting part was after I gave V coach the ball, the H coach didn't have the balls to get angry at me. He got mad at one of my partners, who then told him I warned you coach and that was the end of that. Other partner was some D1 guy that worked some voodoo magic on the coach to shut him up. V were up by two, H has the ball and dribbles it out of bounds against a phantom defender. Then, with plenty of time left, the H coach tells his team not to foul???? V dribbles it out, ball game. I'm just somewhat frustrated at myself because I'm pretty sure I did what I did out of frustration and not thinking clearly. Even though at the time I thought I was. |

Dad--
Sounds like that coach needed to focus more on coaching his kids up and less on your calls. His lack of coaching at the end is what cost him, not you putting the ball in play. I have no problem with any of what you did and would tell you that in the locker room after the game. Even if there was another way about it, if a guy has been that way to me all game and I've obliged him with a long leash, I'm going by the letter of the rulebook which says allows for resumption of play on second horn. If the guy can't figure things out at this point in the season, that's on him. Not you. If he calls off the dogs in a close game where the team still had a chance, that's on him. Not you. Don't lose any sleep over it. |

After all the warnings you gave, step back, blow the whistle loud and long. Then take a deep breath and wait a couple of seconds and then give the ball to the inbounding team fairly slowly (hand it to them, don't bounce it). This technique works in the 1Q to help speed things up for the 4Q |

I am a stickler for keeping the game moving. On foul outs as soon as I tell the coach I inform the timer to give me a 20 second timer, after 5 seconds (no matter how many times I tell timers before the game that we get a horn AT 15 seconds remaining on all official clock stoppages, even foul outs) I have them hit the horn.
I tell the coach he HAS to have someone at the table before the 20 seconds ends. Closest it ever got was kid got there at the same time as the horn. The few times coaches try and get mouthy I have a standard response, "coach just get me the sub lets not make things worse." This is not the time IMO to have a discussion with the coach, it rarely goes well. The few times a partner is moving way to slow I will step in to remind the timer and the coach that we need to get moving. Since I pregame this all the time it's not my fault my partner goes off script. For the most part this isn't an issue. 2 minutes would NEVER happen in a game I'm on. By 30 seconds I've got my nose in the process, by 45 seconds if we are still in the same spot I'm Ting if my partner is unable to get things rolling. What's my partner going to say, "Just because I don't have the balls to take care of business why are you such an a-hole?"
