I had my first game (besides a scrimmage) of my officiating career last night. (My 18th birthday.) I had two 8th grade s games. It went pretty well after I moved the s out from directly under the basket. (I still am deaf from them shrieking in my ear while I was the lead.
) I do have two questions about things that came up.
1. At the start of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters don't you have a AP throw in across from the table? My partner (another 1st year official) wanted to give the ball to the home team because they did not win the tip. The arrow pointed to the visitors because of several jump balls. I successfully convinced to go with the arrow
2. While A1 was free throws B1 on several occasions yelled as A1 released her shot. I talked with my partner between games and he said not to worry about it since the crowd was yelling too and B1 was behind the three point line and was not in A's ear.
