Why create your own problems. A teammate hit another teammate. Let their coach deal with it. We have other things to worry about out there. |

I'm letting the coach handle it as it was between teammates. I'm not getting involved in that. |

If you guys want to call the violations/fouls listed above, I couldn't argue against it. |

Assigner Game Day +1: Got a call about a violent elbow to an opponent's head yesterday and there might even be a concussion ...
Official: Yep, we tossed her for a flagrant. Assigner: Any hint this might be coming? Official: Well, she tried to do it earlier but just whiffed on a teammate. |

At the very least here, there should be a quick warning to the player and coach about this. |

I should have said I think this is taking the rules too literally and getting something that isn't there. Yes, it sounds like it was a vicious elbow. I'm not going to do anything other than talk to the coach and let them know that next time that player will most likely be out of the game. The contact was on a teammate. The coach will be told that if the same contact is on the opposing team we will more than likely have a disqualification. I would think that should take care of it. I know it would were I'm at. Maybe that wouldn't work with the kids you guys officiate? |

Additionally, after I get her sub in and while we're shooting FTs, I'm going to do a mental check to see if there's something we missed that might have led to it.

The ONLY thing officials should worry about in a high school game is protecting the safety of the players. If you think that "we have other things to worry about", then you are missing the fundamental aspect of officiating.

I didn't catch this until Nevadaref responded.
At that time, in that moment, you have nothing more important to worry about, IMO. If you want to let her continue to play, that's one thing, but I can't think of anything that could be happening on the court that would be more important for me to control.

In b) I have a violation for excessive swinging of the elbows. This topic was brought up at our association meeting and it was made very clear. Excessive swinging with contact to a player (including a teammate = ejection). Excessive swinging without contact the violation gets called. Not only was this the direction from the association leadership (and the independent assigner present in the meeting), but also the request of the 10 varsity coaches in the room as well. The ultimate issue in this is safety. Just because the contact was against a teammate doesn't make it less dangerous. An elbow to the head is still and elbow to the head. The only way I don't have anything is if it was somehow accidental (which I have seen between teammates before). |
