I called a forfeit
Oh, man, what a game. Church league boys, and Team A is ahead 27-26 with a few seconds left. A little context: for the last few minutes of the game, Team B and its fans have been complaining about the score, saying that they should be up by one. I have already gone to the official scorer to confirm that the score is wrong, so I'm just ignoring the crowd and shaking my head at Coach B and his players when they keep telling me the score is wrong.
So back to a few seconds left, when the ball rolls out of bounds as the clock is winding down. After my partner blows his whistle to stop the clock, it keeps running and the horn blows. He immediatley lets me know that he has 1 second left on the clock, I am near the score table and I let both teams know the game is not over and there is still time left. Then all hell brakes loose. Three players from Team B rip their jerseys off and throw them in the middle of the court and walk to their bench. B1 is on the bench, looking at me and running his mouth about how we cheated them. I call technical foul (trying to stay calm). Team B's players are all over the floor and Team B's coach is up in my face telling me how I'm trying to hand the game to Team A. I've had enough, and I already have 3 technicals (1 on Team B's bench for B1 jawing, another on Team B's bench for the jerseys, and 1 on Team B's coach for his comments and being up in my face.) Team B is clearly out of control, and despite the fact that there is one second left, and it's a one-point game, I call a forfeit in favor of Team A. What do you think? |
