Last Game of the Season

[griblets]

Last night was my last game of the season, the Florida 4A State Final. After taking 16 years off from officiating, it was very rewarding to return to State after only two seasons back. This forum has been a valuable resource for me. I want to express my gratitude to the forum members for helping me to relearn much of what I had long forgotten.

In case anyone is interested in viewing a portion of the first quarter, here is the video. Constructive comments and critique are welcomed.

Folks to embed a video from youtube copy the code in the image above and paste it into your forum post.

Congrats on the finish to your season!

I don't know which official you are. Your crew must have done a good pregame. After the PC foul call (CC - IMO) at the end of the clip, the calling official went right to the table to report and started the "long" switch.

Agreed -- congrats on the strong finish.

Two observations: Seemed like a lot of empty seats for a state final, at least near the court. Couldn't see how big the arena was. Just seems curious.

And was that last call at the end of the clip a PC or TC?

Couple observations.....

I noticed twice on the far end that the lead ran across the paint twice to get ball side. If you close down properly to lane line you wont have to run across the paint like the crew did.....

I noticed that the white official on the end closer to guy with video camera as lead rotated as a kid was launching a three.... if you are L and a kid catches a
ball outside of arc wide open,the shot is going up. You are rotating as he is in act of shooting. This throws off court coverage for T and C....

Finally....the lead has a play on this end where the kid rides out the taller rebounder. Hold your whistle a second longer and that play becomes a try ( 2 ft throws ) as the big gets the rebound. Yes you have a foul but if the big can play through the initial ride out give him a shooting foul.....

Why would you not want to go ball side as lead...?

Rotating is fine, just pre-game if you're going to finish or not on a shot. I've never been on a crew that finishes. Just go back if it keeps the crew in good position.

Why are you penalizing defense giving phantom FTs?

Disagree. The foul is clearly on the rebound and IMO is not one you can let go and see what happens.

Yes, I saw and spoke with him for the first time in 18 years before my game Thursday.

I assume you know him, too?

To his day, most crews I see rotate too little, not too much.

3:16 on the video, I would've put him on the line. Appears the lead didn't.

However, on the rebounding foul referenced earlier in the thread, there's no way in hell that can be put on the shot. The foul was for displacing the rebounder well before the ball entered the picture.

Agree with your calls on both. Not sure if the lead did or did not since the video had a cut shortly after the foul. I suppose we could assume the action after the cut was immediately after the throwin for that foul but we can't be sure with no clock in the picture.

I work for guys who prefer what cc55 is talking about. In my game yesterday I aborted more rotations than I actually made. But I do pinch the paint often
