4) You screwed up by not getting with your partner immediately after the mistake.

Careful there rook, some folks around here get snippy when you take this referee'ing stuff too seriously... cough cough rainmaker cough...

Question:

Why not screw up again and just make it right?

(Not saying I would ever do that...just asking hypothetically)

Good idea...not that I would ever do that, just sayin'

Watch it, bubba. You start throwing innuendo and slander around, some "stfu" might come your way, too...

Not saying I'd ever do that, but just thinking hypothetically here...

I'm concerned that I'm the first one here to suggest getting with the partner, waiving off the basket, and putting the ball in play correctly. Fix the clock if you can, but that's not that big a deal.

If you've played 3 minutes and just then found out, that's one thing. If you know after a quick throw in followed by a basket, get it right.

I've been skewered on this board for saying it before so start the skewering again. I know this does not fall under 2.10 correctable error. I know the book says that once the ball is caught inbounds, you can't fix it. That being said, if I can kill the play before the white teams scores..... well, hypothetically speaking of course.

Please don't mention "Rainmaker" and "get snippy" in the same sentence. Shudder.

I may not be able to get back to sleep tonight.

Ok, I missed the fact that his school might not actually have been playing. I still think it wouldn't be a good idea to take that assignment if the school is still alive in the tournament. Better to just let somebody else do the game than to have anybody think you might be less than objective.

Is this common practice to have only 2-man for Varsity? Everybody is jumping on your P back for T-ing the coach, but he was just protecting YOU! You both screwed up, just learn from your mistakes and make sure it doesnt happen again.

Probably because most posters know that it is not a correctable error.

In our region especially we have 30 varsity refs and most nights we can't cover all the games with 3 man, especially on busy nights. So we try to use 3 man as much as we can but most of the time we do 2 man until tournament time.
I am rated highly at the schools that were playing and there was not a problem with me calling this game even though it was at my home school.
I never call for my school, too many potential problems.

Rookiedude, i admit I screwed up, didn't try to blame my partner, just said i wish he wouldn't of came over my back and gave a T, when it was our mistake.

And yes i thought about the "cancel basket, etc.." but I just couldn't get myself to do something that wasn't within the rules...Just a bad thing that happens and we made it through it and hope we can forget about it and learn from it!
