All in One Day

[JugglingReferee]

... reffed two JVG games this morning.

Some things that are rare, all happened today in my games.

1. Had a girl who routinely take 8 or 9s shooting FTs. I usually never reach 5s.

2. Not too many held balls, but we did have about eight (8) 10-second calls. Odd. I usually get 1 every other year.

3. Called a foul with the clock reading zeros, but no buzzer had sounded. Second time in my career.

4. We had 3 nice crashes in the paint. She made a mistake on the first one, and corrected for the next two.

5. Three (3!) charges where we shot bonus. Coach: "... you don't shoot..." He understands after I explain to him.

6. Second game started 10 minutes late. (Convenor didn't have scoresheets already filled out - something they usually do quite well here.) Finished 10 minutes ahead of time. That was due to excellent Dead Ball Officiating.

7. The girl I reffed with (and also eval'd two weeks ago) has started to know the shooter when a TO is granted, and now handles the arrow properly. I think she keeps it in her head. Good stuff.

Just to clarify for the newbies, yes - you can have a non-player control charge call.
