Here's mine from today. While working the 3rd quarter of a GV game between two of the weaker teams in the area, I allow yet another "small" traveling violation to go unpenalized as the player crosses midcourt. I end up as the C opposite the table. In this gym all fans are on this side. Sitting right there in the front row are two coaches from a couple of the stronger teams in town that I have good relations with.
I guess they came to scout the game, but had obviously become bored as they started commenting to me! One asked, "Did you miss that one, too?" I didn't think he was being rude, merely teasing and having some fun, so I ignored him. The other said, "You know it is okay to call a travel on the team ahead by 15, right?" While thinking [just wait 'til you're ahead by 15 coach!], I continued to ignore them. One of my partners now called a shooting foul, so I remained in this location. During the first attempt I heard, "Do you just completely ignore the fans?" To that I responded with, "Nah, it's just that I've gotten so used to ignoring you guys when you are on the opposite side of the court that it's become second nature." ![]() And yes, they did laugh. |
