Ref's Mind is on men's game...

I had notice earlier the ref was counting in the backcourt and was wondering what he was counting. Fortunately both coaches took it well. The UNCG coach laughed and the Georgia Southern coach just nodded his head OK when the call was explained. How embarrassing to make that mistake in a televised game.

Sounds long a fill-in who knew the rule but is in the habit of counting from doing NF games. The local association in Greensboro is the largest in the state and has several college officials working in it.

When girls AAU kicks off, I catch myself counting the first several times that the ball is inbounding. It's just a conditioned response.

I often find myself continuing to count long after the ball has crossed the division line. Do any of you do that too?

On occasion I do, but I drop it pretty quickly. No harm, since I haven't been so stupid as to blow a 10 second violation.

Yet!
