Wanted to disappear...

[MN BB Ref]

I was working a JV girls tournament this week and had an incident that made me want to disappear off the court. Luckily I had an experienced partner that made a decisive call and we went on without any flack from the coaches.

I was working trail in the backcourt. A1 was trapped near the freethrow line by B2 and B3. I then hear a coach yelling for a timeout. I then turned quickly to see if it was indeed the team A headcoach and see that it is. I raise my hand and blow the whistle to grant the TO only to see B2 driving for a layup...which she made as I blew the whistle. I just froze not sure of what to do. My partner signaled the basket was good and we continued on with the game.

I realize I should've turned to look at the players again before granting the TO, but I didn't.

Has anything like this ever happened to you, and if so, how did you handle this situation or how would you handle this.

Happy 2004 everyone!!!
