Foul reporting mechanics

[BoomerSooner]

First, thank you for the mechanics update. This may be my last year any of my son’s play basketball so I’ll probably end up in a camp or two to address what I’ve missed.

I think part of why this bugs me is that one of my first partners drilled in to me that the little things matter. He never made me feel bad about my judgement calls. Question them, yes but from a spirit of growth. He said judgement comes with time, but the little things are what show professionalism and helps build credibility. The game that finally pushed me to ask was my son’s middle school game this weekend. Admittedly it’s a lower level and probably newer officials, but both officials were reporting fouls from the end line in a couple of cases while holding the ball with players surrounding them lining up for free throws. I could the scorer was having difficulty keeping up with it at times.
