All ~
Last night I officiated a 8th grade classic girls game. It was the end of the third quarter and the red team was leading the green team by about 20. Green team has the ball under their own hoop and take's a shot at the buzzer. I was lead offical at this point. To my best judgement the shot was not released before the horn, (although I admit it was very close) I waived off the shot, the ball scored. The crowd gave me a HARD time for not "Giving" it to them. No protest from either coach. I met with my partner who is a 20 veteran and he said "you could of gave that to them the coach of the Red team probably wound not have cared". So all that said and remembering I'm still in my first year. Once I finish games I'm real hard on myself and go over the game in my head recounting certain senario's. I enjoy officaiting with seasoned officails because I'm learning alot from them and appreciate it. So I'm still officating with my instinct and with the ruling knowledge that I have thus far, and not with emotion. What would you do ? Do you give them the shot because the score margin is so large , give lee-way. I mean, I was confused / shocked when my partner said that to me, and he was serious.
