I always tell my trainees to wear black underpants (compression shorts) just in case they split their pants, and to pack a few safety pins in their bag. I always told them that I wouldn't bet my house that it would happen to them, but that I also wouldn't bet my house that it wouldn't happen to them.

I hope that you will continue to participate on the forum. I’ve always respected your views and opinions, even when you went by BNR.

Raymond, I echo the words from Nevadaref. Many refs can learn a lot from you.
Happy Trails

First time I've ever called a technical foul going into halftime (assistant coach mouthing off and cursing as I was going to the table)

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are still doing some college or other levels. I get it, this can be a grind sometimes. But congrats on your high school career.

Peace

Thanks and thanks.

Nope, I'll be letting it all go. Still have 2 college games left this week. I have not been in very good physical condition this season, but I do have one supervisor who told me to be on standby for some post-season assignments.

Same for me, this Forum is a great resource.

Same for me, severe arthritis in my right foot. Due to many inactive local officials (COVID), I'm very much in demand and have been working every weekday and almost all Saturdays, limping through the season doing all subvarsity (usually middle school) games. Thinking about having a few screws inserted in my foot, or giving up officiating completely, a thought that's never crossed my mind before.

Congratulations and good luck on your post-officiating life.

After a successful try, a technical foul is called on player for taunting at the same time the horn sounds signaling the end of the quarter.

When do we shoot FTs for the technical foul? Is the player now bench personnel?

I'm not sure that's possible, by rule (extending the "a violation and a foul can't happen at the same time" ruling). Decide which happened first and adjudicate accordingly.

[Johnny Ringo]

It did. Official blew whistle and raised hand at same time as the horn/lights on backboard.

... remembering that the taunting foul may not have come at the same time as the whistle, it probably occurred split seconds before the whistle.

Not sure that a game clock sounding to end a period can be considered a violation, but I understand the point.
