Team Control Loose Ball Fouls

[Raymond]

This something that I often pregame; not always, but most of the time. I'm trusted as the "rules guy" in all of my HS games and a majority of my college games, so luckily I don't have to worry about such scenarios. Those few occasions in college where I'm not inherently trusted it's because I'm working a Big Dawg who doesn't know me. In those cases, I'll state my piece and then let the Big Dawg go from there.

It is situations like these where it most definitely matters who the Crew Chief is for that game, especially in places where you don't work with preset crews all season.

When it comes to coaches and table personnel, I have a stock response: "I guarantee I know the rules better than you do". It's a d1ckhead statement, but I don't have time for that mess during games.
