Good Tuesday
I'm just feeling good this morning and thought I'd post. I had a women's game last night and the crew (1 I've worked with before, the other I've met at camps) was really sharp. We had a competitive game and we rotated well, mechanics were good, and we were seeing the game the same way. Communication was as good as I've ever had on a crew other than my high school crew. I opened on Saturday and it went fine, but it was a complete blowout. I think we did a good job, but last night was a night when we were just "in it". How has everyone else's openers gone?

I will let you know tomorrow. :) It should be fine.:rolleyes:

Must be nice. My game was a little over 2 hours away. I rolled into my place at 11ish still wide awake. I warned my students that I didn't get much sleep and I might be cranky today. :) |

I've had 3 college games and 6 (MS does double-headers) high school games already. The opener went well enough that I don't really remember much about it.

Were you by any chance working with my buddy Bhuck Elics? He had a double OT game the other day also... |

1 Better communication with partner (several minor issues that made us look bad) 2. Posture / solid calling & reporting 3. Bonus administration (this one bites: my partner, lead, called a foul, I didnt catch the player that was fouled, we inbound and are informed of bonus situation... yep, you guessed it... who is going to shoot? curses!!!) 4. Study the rules, AGAIN! 5. Communication with partner!! For my first School game ever, I think it was positive.... at least I am not going to give up just yet.:rolleyes: |

One thing you'll notice as you work, (at least this is true from my experience) is that the lower the level, the more hostile the crowd will be. Just tune them out! :D |

Opener last night: JV/V double header. No problems, but lots of fouls called. I don't like how the game gets more and more physical every year and how sloppy physical play just drains you.

It couldve been worse....

The Lady Redman? Who can you think of that might have an orgasm while protesting that one?:D |
After my final post last night I went to bed rethinking the game and my post. Again let me be clear, I would have to beat up my performance before I could even consider addressing my partner. I made too many mistakes of my own. After rethinking the game, it amazed me how many things happened in that first game that have been covered on this forum. Some I immediately realized; some I didnt till later. For instance, I swore that in one of my games (clearing my throat) I would never let the Scoring Team immediately step out of bounds and throw in the ball. Let me restate that... Team A scores basket (it is now B's ball w/running endline) Team A grabs ball and begins a throw-in. Ya know, I cant say that will never happen in my game ever again :) Fortunately we caught it but I was completely taken by surprise. Another early lesson.:rolleyes: So many other things.... I have lots to learn:confused:
