Best Game Ever? - Page 2

A funny moment I forget to add from the 5th place game I previously posted. About 30 seconds into the 2nd OT the best player on the eventual losing team was fouled, two shots. As they lined up for the 1st shot, one of the players on the other team in a bit of a panic asked "Does the first basket win?" I told her no, we'd keep playing full overtimes until we had a winner. She was happy after that.

lucky her. I have played a game in sudden death (no I'm not kidding)

there's a cup that has quite, "special" *coughs* rules. They make own adjustments, one is that you play sudden death insted of full OT. I have once (as a player) ended up in a SD game, god

we both had team fouls, started with a jump ball (not the AP as usuall) and we got the ball. Our PG goes for a drive, foul, two shots, he misses both. The other team comes back, they take a quite bad shot (their coach weren't happy) and we rebound it. Goes up again and the same thing happens, PG drives, gets fouled. Two ft's, misses both again, C grabs the offensive board and puts it in. That must've been the longest 1½ minute in my life

and this were a few years ago, actually 3, we were 12 when playing this, and our PG is one year younger (playing with elders) so he was 11. I don't think he would miss thos FT's today, but god that was a nerve breaker game (it was fun though)

as for good ref excperiences I'll come back with a story later

My best game ever is always the same. Multiple games in an evening where the last game is a forfeit.

When I went to Las Vegas for the Reebock Big Time Classic last year, all of the games were great! I felt like I was officiating on cloud 9! I had partners that I could trust and felt great the whole time!

Implying that you can't trust your partners back home?

Not at all; but its good to know you can trust your partners on the west coast as well.

Just making sure. Don't want any of your colleagues back home to think you are big-timing them.

Las Vegas is on the west coast? Not yet...need that pesky California to go away before LV is on the west coast...

At least it near the west coast. Let me clarify, its good to know that there are quality officials everywhere!

Us West Coasters like to yank people's chains every now and then, too!

Rocky, east of the Mississippi Las Vegas is considered the West Coast. You know, like Albany and Binghamton are considered Upstate New York. Or like Pennsylvania is on the East Coast, which would only be true if you consider the West Bank of the Delaware River a "coast". I'm willing to wager more people associate Las Vegas as West Coast than Oregon and Washington. You guys get tagged Northwest or more than likely as "Out West Somewhere".

I live in Virginia and tell people I live in the South and some people respond "that's not the South". Still trying to figure out how Kentucky is considered the Southeast but the states that border them to the north are called Midwest states.

I've been told that Virginia is "up south".
