C'mon back off. She acknowledged that the ref didn't shaft her team, she lost because of her players' short-comings. She's allowed to vent a little as long as she doesn't get insultive. You're allowed to vent, too, but calling her venting BS is close to insultive. Besides, we don't get a lot of women here. We need to help her fit in, not rough her up.

So instead of calling her a rat, I should say.....rat-ette?

Whoops, Juulie, you assumed the coach was a woman. And I followed right along.

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.
