And One!!
This harmless phrase has become nails on a chalkboard to me.
I'm tempted in pregame to tell 'em mention 'and one' and you get banged. |
Interesting.
This phrase is most often used to voice an opinion that the official missed a call that, imo, has a huge impact on the game: points for a successful FT. In a way, the phrase is challenging the compentency of the official. Surely this approach by coaches/players needs to be dealt with. |
Call it a patient whistle
I also dislike the phrase "and 1', but it is common for coaches and players to pick up the popular saying. From the officials view...have a patient whistle and if the players can play through some contact, just call that way on the other end and if you have to come in with a late whistle...then do so!

That's an automatic stop sign and "I don't want to hear that again, coach."

Why concern yourself with a coach telling you what brand of sneakers he wears? :D
When they yell And 1, yell back Reebok. That'll keep 'em thinking |

With that being said, if someone And-1 me and then proceeds to tell me how he got foul, show me where he got, etc. That's a different story. Learn to recognize the difference and penalize as such you see fit. If they and-1 me AND then take they azz on down the court, got no problem with that. |

I agree with Old School. The term, "And 1" is often said not only to the refs, but also to the player who fouls the scorer. Saying "And 1" and "ref, I was fouled on the shot" is the same - they just wanted the foul call. Usually after saying "And 1," the players who said it is over the no-call. Basketball is an emotional sport - if you take it to the heart, you are over-doing your officiating.
I don't think anyone would bang a player for saying, " I was foul". So why would you do so if a player says, "And 1"? |
