In my post i said i like to try and let the teams set the flow or tempo of the game. I work hard at trying to talk them out of a few fouls, but by no means am i swallowing my whistle. I don't go out on the court to give a clinic in blowing the whistle ether. If the players are not going to respond to "preventive" officating then the whistle will get a work out when fouls accur.
I still believe our job is to prevent unnecessary game interuptions. I also believe the best compliment that a coach, fan or player can say is "who were those referee's tonight". Good Luck

and I will warn if I see them in a sitch that might lead to me using my whistle (press in backcourt, low post match-up, etc). It is better to say "watch hands" or "off his back" than it is to disrupt the flow. My only point was in the first 2 minutes when you set the tone it's got to also be set with the coaches & bench folks (and to a much lesser degree the yahoos in the stands). Warning does not do this, IMO. |

NCAA Women - Post Play
The June 1, 2000 letter on points of emphasis (NCAA Womens) says "The defender may not place two hands, two forearms, a forearm and hand or a leg and hand".
The NCAA Rulebook (Page 16 Paragraph [a.] under POE for Women) says "A forearm and leg or a hand and leg may be placed on the offensive player as long as there is no displacement". The two are inconsistent with regard to the defender placing a leg plus a hand. Does anyone know of an interim document explaining the difference? |

I am not saying not to blow the whistle. But I am not going to treat the first 2 minutes any different than the last two minutes. I just believe that you make your first foul a good one and make sure that is what you want to call the entire game. If you call something that is not a foul at the beginning trying to send a message, you might have problems if make that call later. As I have said before, I believe in fouls and not fouls, not tight and loose. And depending on the talent of the players, that might mean different things.

IMHO
If you arbitrarily call fouls in the two minutes that you would not call any other time just to set the tone, you are going to have some fouls being called that are thought to be non-fouls whether you like it or no. What I am saying is that you might not need to call anything in the first couple minutes. I feel that it is especially important to have the first foul a good one, if not, do not call it.
