Why some call Kick Ball and others don't!!!

[Brian Watson]

Much like the guy who announces he isn't taking any crap I say- WHAT IS THAT??

I call the game the same in the first 1 minute as the last. The game is just as tight in the first minute as the last if it is a close game (usually the game is tied when you start play).

I agree you should let the players decide the outcome, but I think you penalize the teams by not calling it the same way. Ask coaches and AD's and they will tell you it does not matter if you are good or bad, just be consistent. If you do this then, your consistency goes out the window.

Also, if it is tight why do you not call a 3 seconds or travel? If the wide kid is camped out underneath you are giving him an advantage if he ends up with a board or bucket. If he catches, spins, and shuffles through the lane and it is a "minor" travel and scores you hurt the other team. If the PG takes a step to get around the defender you help him. Ridiculous, you have to call the game even all the way through.

Sorry, I'll now get off my soapbox.
