I was working a first round boys playoff game a few weeks ago.
I called a blocking foul in the backcourt and the coach decided to tell me what he thought of the call. Of course, the throw-in was right at his bench (no way to do it elsewhere without making stuff up) and as he's talking and I'm trying to get the ball back in so I don't have to engage his foolishness as the game was already an ugly blowout. Then the opposing player said something to the coach about him being wrong. The coach said something back. I told them both to knock it off. The coach had this look of "how dare a player talk to me" and I'm thinking "I agree with the player." Anyhow, at halftime, I said to my partners, "So, if I call a double technical there, how will it be enforced?" Partner said, "By yourself. We both would've left." They would've had to steal my car. I drove. |

I agree that the administration is easy. |

No, I'll give you that. I've never had one between a player and a head coach.

I almost had one. Visiting player earned one and took a quick second to settle down after I called it. We were right in front of the home bench, and the home coach got excited "Give him another one!" One quick glance and he settled down, too.

Before we could respond, the athletic director from the home team came rushing onto the court saying "You have to T him up! You have to T him up!" One of my more unforgettable games... |

Sat them both down and didn't have another issue the rest of the game. |

I hate the unrealistic test questions, too. But, separate from that I've come to realize that understanding the administration of DFs and MFs is important in the unlikely event of blarges or perhaps two officials going to the table and reporting fouls on different players from the same team....without realizing they're both reporting something until it's too late. To put it another way, would you ever call a MF by yourself? No. But if you unwittingly do it as a crew, there's a process for that so that you can at least avoid compounding crappy mechanics with improvised penalty administration. |
