Talking Check this out. I hope this ref wasn't any of you guys or gals.

Here's what happened when a shot got stuck on the rim.

As an official I was taught long ago not to even attempt to throw a ball, jump to dislodge it, or use a broom handle, just for this reason. Have a player, coach, game management, ANYONE else do it but you!

You should ask a Hot Mom to jump up and try to knock it out. Hopefully, it will take her four or five jumps.

Thirty years ago. Major rivalry game. Net is discovered to be caught on the rim at the beginning of a timeout. One of the shortest officials on my local board, who had to deal with the wrath of the fans up until that point, runs across the court from the division line and jumps to pull down the net, missing it by about eighteen inches. Fans all had a chuckle, but gave him an easier time for the rest of the game. His self deprecating humor had won over the fans.

Is this an issue of "White men cannot jump"?

You mean not one of the players could get to the ball?

Peace

I believe it was a girls' game.
