Angry Know the rules!!!
Eighth grade girls, I'm T in a two man. Way down by the baseline, A1 goes to one knee to gather a loose ball. Right in front of my partner, she puts down her dribble and then stands up. I'm applauding her in my head. TWEET! Traveling! AAAARGH!

The coach knew the call was wrong and she just shook her head in disgust. I couldn't blame her.

This is a tough situation for a partner. Do you go over and have a quick chat when you KNOW that your partner kicked a rule or do you let him live with his call?

As Scrapper1 would say, it's only 8th grade, who cares if the ref kicked the rule.

Rather than taking another shot at someone you disagreed with in another thread, why didn't you ask the OP'er what in the world he was doing watching the ball when it was so far out of his primary? Is it possible that maybe the partner saw something that the OP'er didn't since he was right there and OP'er wasn't? Don't know, but that's what first popped into my mind...you on the other hand just automatically assume this unknown official "kicked the rule"...

That is my sentiment exactly.

If he did or didn't kick the call, it doesn't matter, because it's an 8th grade game. That's my sarcastic point.

It sure matters to those 8th grade girls, thier parents and coaches.

I've been told (and agree with) to call every game like its the most important game being played that night...because to someone, it probably is.

Yeah, that's what I said. Nice editorializing. Here's a "roll eyes" for you, too.

Is someone trying to set a record for the shortest locked thread?

I agree with the other three. Who was watching the other 9 players? I guess some people will go to some extreme lengths to get into a game free and see the game from a good vantage point!

Wouldn't that be where the coaches are?

Like you guys have never seen a partner kick a call out of your primary. It was a full court press, I was at midcourt, and I could see the baseline through the players spread out in their diamond. Next time I'll shield my left eye.

We might kick a call, but we should never kick a rule regardless of the level.

Had a similar feeling in an 8th grade girls game yesterday. Partner administering a spot throw in near the division line. A1 has the ball looking to throw and... you know it... TWEET!, he calls her for traveling. She never left the spot, just shuffled her feet looking for an open teammate.

I think my reaction was the same as yours

Do you get 3 feet from the center of the spot throw?
