Last night I had the first hs boys game I've had for almost a year. I noticed that my positioning was a lot different and I had trouble "staying out of the way". In the middle of the second quarter, A2 tipped a defensive rebound out of the paint to A1 who was standing right in front of me, just above the 3-point line. A1 turned to run, and got around me. B1 guarding, though, didn't make it around. He tried, but clipped me good on the shoulder and knocked me down. I felt like a bowling pin. It was interesting to me that I would not have called the contact a foul if it had happened between opponents. I no call that mcuh contact all the time. But it sure affected my ability to call the game!
