Free Throw Violation?

Beats me why he threw the ball so fast. I'm not kidding - I was still in the paint backing out when the ball hit the rim. He might have been a poor free throw shooter, might have been the other team's two 6'8" players he tried to get the jump on. (they had swatted three or four regular shots that game). That's why I love the game of basketball!!! Just when you think you've got the strategy all figured out and you expect what will happen the next play....BOOM - the most unexpected thing will happen and you just shake your head in amazement.

I've got these same two reams in games next week. I'll eat a little crow at the first of each game - (becasue by now the free throw shooter has told his whole team I blew the "attempted" free throw call. I'll take my lumps, smile, and toss up the ball for another good game!!

Expecting trouble, are you?

WOW.... that was most definately a Fruedian Slip!!!!! ream????

All I really expect is a little ribbing. The teams in the league actually get to pick - (recommend) - the refs from the pool who they think are the better ones. By the first travel call, they will have all forgotten anything in the past that's happened and just consider me 'just another stupid referee'!!!!
