Yeah - my girls should have had the rebound anyway - it came off the backboard funny and bounced right in our hands so quickly that it bounced right back out Thanks about the info for the critique system - i'll definitely consider doing that. |

There. See, Juulie? I can be a nice guy too(especially when I find out that the coach is a fellow male of the masculine persuasion). |

I feel that coaches are: 1) not qualified to evaluate officials, or.. 2) if they are qualified, they are not watching the officials solely during the game anyway. They are watching the players and the play instead. Similarly, officials are not qualified to evaluate coaches while they are officiating. They don't know the thought processes that the coach is going through, or the reasons that he's doing what he's doing. The only way that you could get a meaningful evaluation either way would be to be fully trained in the other's job, and also then just sit in the stands and do absolutely nothing else but evaluate the other person as a coach or official, while ignoring the rest of the game and everybody in it. If you don't do that, then the coach's evaluation of the officials usually hinges on how many of the close calls went his way. That's just human nature. It also turns his evaluation into toilet paper imo though. |

I can tell you what is the FIBA mechanics. The trail official has responsibility on the thrower, on the try, on the players on the opposite side of the lane and, finally, on all other players not along the lane (there are at least four of them in FIBA). You see that there are many things to look at. The lead official has responsibility on the players along the lane on the opposite side and on the following rebound play. When I teach officiating, I suggest to the trail to take a position 2 meters (6-7ft) from the thrower, slightly behind the line, in such a way to be able to see the thrower and the try. Obvious violations by the 4 players behind the line are catched pretty easily (they can enter in the 3 point area only when the ball strikes the rim). I suggest also to the lead to take position slightly off the lane, in order to be able to see both rows of players and help the trail with their violations. This is easier here, because only five players can go along the lane. It should be not very different from NF mechanics. Some officials remain too much near the thrower, so they have no chance to look at everything. It can happen to miss a call like this, if the throw is very near the rim. Not if the throw is very far from the rim: I'd classify this as a bad error. Ciao |

Coach:
It is amazing to believe that stuff like that does get missed, especially when everyone else in the place saw it. With a two man crew, I'm willing to take my eyes off the rim in order to watch the action for the rebound. And I have seen the rimmed skimmed by the ball, if you will, and refs will call the ball dead because they think the ball missed everything. The human factor in officiating cannot be ignored in the total equation. I had a similar situation in a game I worked a few weeks ago. Girls down low on a rebound, everyone reaching, trying to grab the ball..all of the sudden someone hits the floor, everyone in the gym saw how she got there except the two guys who can do anything about it. I felt badly about her getting hit and winding up on the floor, but after a lifetime of flopping by the defense, if I'm going to call something, I'm going to have to see it through my own eyes. Good luck with your season! |

2 whistle game, I’m lead and the ball is in my far corner. I move out to watch as the defense is tight. Suddenly, off ball but in my primary (probably only about 5 feet from where I’m standing), I hear a thud and look over to see B1 lying on the floor. I’m pretty sure A2 hit her setting a screen, but didn’t see it so called nothing. Partner couldn’t or didn’t see it, as it was across the lane from him. I’ve got to slide out further and turn my shoulders towards the lane on that play, but I was too worried about my ball handler and the sideline.
