Scariest games ever
The other day I had two games on the same evening that were two point games in the final seconds and in each one, the trailing team missed a relatively easy two-pointer that would have sent each game into OT.
I'm still having nightmares about it. Of course, if either game had gone into OT, I would have blamed my partner.

Another time I was in the stands and the girls' game ended after three overtimes (more than two hours). At the end of the third OT the team down by two tried a lay-up: the ball started to turn on the rim, the time elapsed, and after what seemed some minutes the ball finally went out of the basket. Of course the blame was on the two officials. It was a Sunday morning and we had lunch well past 3pm. |

In that overtime both teams were almost at their worst; maybe one field goal and four FTs went in (with many fouls and bonus FTs, of course). In the third OT, the visitors were exhausted; their opponents were still breathing, so they won "easily". Horrible game, but the officials were great. We just couldn't avoid the OTs. Ciao |

I have never seen a game where neither team would score in double digits, but there was a game in a women's national cup competition a couple of years ago, where a professional team rolled over an amateur team (rec-league level) ... the final score was 285 - 0 (yes, zero!)
Never figured out how that happened. While I expected it to be very lopsided (The club's first team had been crushed in a regular season game of the national championship only days before the cup game, so they didn't send their pros but the 3rd or 4th team.), I still can't imagine how a team can't score a single basket in 40 minutes. I don't remember whether they made it to the freethrow line or not, but you would think they should have made at least one shot ... @eg: Where do you ref in Italy (which league)? I like to watch the referees in games from Italy, Spain or Greece. These are not only the strongest competitions in Europe (besides European Cups and EuroLeague of course), but I think that the level of refereeing is also very high.
