"Reaching" for a call to respond in any way to off the court influences (fan's or coach's) is extreamly dangerous.
What I read ... what you suffered from was the distraction the coach was offering and the effect was judgement on your calls. To avoid this "effect" on your talents and judgement - you have other tools at your disposal. T

Good game management does not consist of whacking a coach w/ 2 T's for the statement that was posted earlier. Doing that will certainly get you in trouble (probably from your assignor). Good game management consists of calling fouls that make sense in a 20pt blow-out game. You can't make stuff up - the contact has to be there and it has to be relatively close to the amount of contact that was whistled a foul previously. If it's a solid foul, you've got to call it.
If something is within the "grey area", than I would certainly give the benefit of the doubt to the losing team. Remember it's "grey area" stuff - a contested ball batted OOB's; 3 sec./5 sec. calls, contact around the basket, etc. Very few things are "black and white" during the game - there's lots of "grey", so use your judgement. I'm sure there's lots of posters who disagree - so "fire away"..... |

Not that it would make a difference, but, out of curiosity, how much time was left in the game when these incidents took place?

To the original poster: again, who told you this was good game management?

Nobody told me this was good game management. Thus the reason for my post and dicussion. We all learn from our mistakes. And WE make plenty. Watch any game. I don't think I will do it that way again. My partners and I had a good discusion on the way home. Both understood. Both disagreed.
a great learning experience. |
