Thanks Hostile Fans
I'm certain it wasn't meant to be supportive, but I heard a comment from the hostile side of the crowd that confirmed to me I got one right.
During a light press, near mid court, the defensive center gets control of the ball. He's a big kid, and the only thing between him and the basket is a guy half his weight and about 2/3 his height. He goes full tilt to the basket. The defender does a decent job of holding his ground, but really doesn't challenge the play much. BAM! Right through the little guy. TWEET! PC foul. Easy one. Once the noise quieted I hear "he was backpedalling all the way!" I say to myself, so he obviously didn't initiate the contact". |

The fans $4.00 admission alleviates their obligation to read and know the rules of basketball in order to contribute to officiating the contest.

They paid their dollar just so they could come and holler. Gotta love all of the officials in the stands at games. Funny how none of them show up for our clinic meetings, though.

I had one on Tuesday night. I called a fairly easy block/charge as a block. I'm 100% sure I was right, but the fans right behind me didn't like it. One guy says, "Funny how I've got the same angle as you and I didn't see anything." I said to him (I know, I know, we're not supposed to do this, but it was hard to resist), "Funny how if you had the same angle you'd have had to look right through me." Everyone around him laughed.

I was thinking that he never really had LGP per se. If he was initially guarding, and established LGP and then began to back away, yea, he still HAS LGP. |

Why wouldn't he be guarding or maintain lgp?

Okay, okay, I WAS WRONG!!!
But that's my outer female responding, not my inner male, so I'm not going to get vulgar about it. I had 7th grade girls last night, so my toggles were adjusted incorrectly for the OP. I was thinking about the little girl standing just outside the key waving to her mommy, when suddenly, the shadow of a very large and fast-moving shooter looms larger over her. She cowers, steps back again, and then again and wham!! The impact is tremendous. Crack! goes her head against the floor. She wails in pain and humiliation, but her agony is short-lived as her teammates jump up and scream in congratulation and approbation! The fans go wild!! She rises tearful but victorious from the floor and walks to the bench showered with confetti and praise. Her mother quietly slips her some Tylenol for the headache. (edited to remove vulgar comment from inner male) Last edited by rainmaker; Fri Jan 12, 2007 at 02:14pm. |
