I think I might have to quit working games. I went to overtime in both of my lower level games last night. Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Ask Padgett. He can give you some pointers!

Definitely an off night ;)

First of all, when the game is close near the end, tell your partner that if the game goes into overtime, it's his (or her) fault! ;)

Second, make sure you keep the score differential on an odd number other than three. ;)

Third, if - despite all your efforts - regulation ends in a tie, go to the book and find a scorer's error. ;)

If all else fails and the game is tied near the end, call a T on a coach before the final horn. It doesn't matter which coach or for what. Believe me, if you don't know why he deserved it - he will. :p

Classic!

The killer is in the second game, after the end of the 4th quarter the V coach came out and politely brought up the foul count. I could have been a jerk and tapped him, but I didn't. My partners questioned me having all of my male anatomy.

I believe the old saying goes: "Overtime is always the officials fault!" :) :D

As my old pappy used to say, "The official's job is to make sure that when the final horn sounds somebody has lost!" :D

I know how you feel. Two of my first three, and three of my first 6, HS games went to OT this year. (The most recent was double OT :eek: )

The one game I didn't want OT actually went to Double OT (I wanted to listen to the Cardinals game!) But, I knew we were going to have OT, cause that's how these things work.

Must have been something in the air in central Iowa last night, Junker. I had an OT game last night, too. I'll bet mine were lower level than yours. :)

Could have been. I'm not sure that we weren't playing rugby instead.

Last night JV/V double header, half time of JV game, partner goes on and on and on about how ther will be NO OT's tonight. We were looking good til Home team hits a last second full court shot. It truly was a hail mary baseball throw that was nothing but net. We made up some time with a running clock in the 4th period of V game.

tjones1,
If your wasting your time watching the Cards, you deserve to go to OT. I requred by Cubs fan laws to make this statement.

As a part of Redbird Nation, I've got to ask you if "Next Year" is here yet?! :) :D Actually, to be serious, the Cubs are scary if they could just get things to click (Hint Hint, dump Dusty).
