Maybe it just now sunk in. One of the things that has bothered me is letting the coaches and fans comments get to me. Not that I ever got upset about it, never have issued a T, just that I kept wondering if maybe I really was missing something.
Something was different last night, though. I heard all the complaints, but I just smiled and kept on working. Made for a much more enjoyable game. Wasn't sure if I would ever shake the second guessing.
The turning point may have been a block/charge no call. Felt sure I did the right thing. I had a good angle on the play and saw it all the way. There was some contact, and the defender went down more from a flop than from the contact. Basket was good. No whistle. As I go up court, coach says "call the charge!!" My reply "I didn't see it." and thats the last I thought of the play. (Hmm. Maybe now he thinks I missed the whole play. Ah, no way. It was right in front of me and he knew I nailed it.)
Now, to take this to the next game........
