My season actually kicked off last week, and it was my busiest week of the season. That's why I haven't been around as much. So, has anyone else left the forum?

It's good to get going again. My first game was uneventful but fun. The second was was just a butt-ugly game, with 500 or so fouls, and one new partner. Strange stuff happened, and we just didn't look good as a crew. It was good to get out of there. My next one featured two coaches who have been known to get exciteable. Early in the first half, after I had called a travel, I hear one of the coaches say, "Jim, I know that was a travel, but you've called 5 travels on us, and only 1 on them." As I looked up at the scoreboard, I told him, "Dave, do you want me to even up the foul count too?" (It was 4-0 on the other team.) Funny thing, I didn't hear from him the rest of the game...

I had my first Varsity private school game. Foul shooter had fresh blood on his pant leg. I recognized it. went to bench alerted coach, which by the way was the asst. coach. The head coach got all bent out of shape. He aserted himself to tell me I am the head coach and speak to me. Well, since I already told him about the coaches box which was clearly marked and he was warned to stay in the box. I told him" Coach if you were in the coaches box , I would address you. Since you neglected to listen to my request I will not speak with you." He got all pissy. He was getting loud, since it was my first regular season game, I just didn't want to T him up. At one point I told him, enough and give a replacement player. I walked away and my partner must have heard some comment and whacked him up. he now had to sit for sure and adhere to the coaches box. My crew gave out the first T of the year. It really turned out to be a good game otherwise..

Why not? How many games do you have to do before you give an earned T? Do players get pass on personal fouls too?

I'm half way playing with you.

Give them what they earn, from start to finish.

I'm 4 games in. 2 JV college men's and 2 women's games. I think I'm cursed in my women's games. Both have had a pretty bad injury and both were my call. The injured player was also the one that committed the foul in both cases. One ended with a split lip that bled all over and the other resulted in a concussion. Hopefully I can get through Saturday's game with everyone in one piece.
