let the talent level of the players determine the outcome of the game
Julie - why were you counting slowly? Was the girl having trouble inbounding all game because the defense was good? If so, you should not alter the game to penalize that defense for doing their job. Was this an OSAA game? If so, it's the coach's responsibility to help that player get the ball in, not yours, even at the freshman level.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but this is a point I stress over and over again - our job is not to "level the playing field", but call the game fairly so that the team that earns the win gets it, because they are supposed to.
Having said that, I do make allowances in purely rec leagues where the league policy is to emphasize fun, not competitiveness.
