varsity criticism or just helping!

Well, you did make a decision, didn't you? You either did or did not blow the whistle.

I think part of the problem with the shot clock for you guys with a full head of hair is you're not really used to having complete awareness of any clock - I bet you messed up that shot clock violation because you were surprised to hear it go off. Get into the habit of locating both shot clocks and the game clocks when you enter the gym. And glance at it whenever possible, which should be often if the clocks are where they should be. Always check the time on the shot clock at a whistle - one of the crew should always have it. Always check it on a ball reversal. Always check it on a shot, whether it goes in, misses or hits. Always check it before putting the ball in play. Always check it on a completed throw-in. Check it when the ball swings out of your primary. Check it when there's nothing else going on. It's easy once you get the nack of it. The harder part is actually remembering what the thing said when you need to!

Enough free advice for 1 day, next time I'll just rip you a new one for screwing up.
