Fans/ Coaches will be Fans/Coaches

Yeah, I remember a game about a month ago where every possible thing that could go wrong happened to the home team. Every slight OOB and reach in was going against them, and when they were driving the hole a mob came into the paint and my partner and I couldn't see, thus didn't call, anything. Of course the fans were going crazy; I remember one point in particular, after a missed FT by B, A1 got the ball easily, took a step backwards, and then dribbles over the line slightly. I hated calling it, because I knew that would just get the crowd and Coach(who earned the First T I have given out about 2 minutes later) more into the "anti-ref" mode. But I had to call it, and of course everyone's like "AWW, NO Way!!."

It just goes to show that go with your first instinct, the fans will act the way they do anyway when it comes to a call against their team, ignore them!! I even had the AD tell me at halftime that it was looking a little one-sided; that about set me off, but I figured I could talk to her later that week in the county tourney I was officiating for her.
