I had a JV girls game the other day. Coach calls me over during a time out and asks, "Excuse me Mr. Official, can you watch for fouls please?" ...I nodded yes and walked away...

Took me about 18 games...but now I finally know what I'm supposed to do as ref!

Our CYO JV Boys Coach moved up from coaching the Hoopers (Grades 3 & 4 instructional team) to our JV boys (4th-6th grade) and asked me last week how many timeouts he got per half. (The Hoopers league uses different timing and period rules.) He seemed suprised that the timeouts were on a per-game basis.

During an 8th grade boys game, one of the coaches yelled not once, not twice, but at least five times, "That's a reach over the back". I choose not to say anything since it was so funny and after that many games, I really appreciated the good laugh.

Oh yeah - one coach twice yelled, "That's a...a...a...whatchamacallit!" I told him I didn't know the signal for that.

Another coach requested and was granted four of his timeouts in the first half. When he used up his fifth early in Q3 and I informed him that was his last one, he was shocked. He said he thought he got five per half. Yeah - that works.

Finally, one coach would not believe my partner and me that you didn't shoot offensive fouls any more. The other team was called for illegal screens a few times late in the game when both teams were in the bonus. This coach told my partner that was a "bogus rule". I told the coach that I had a rulebook in my bag and we could look it up. I said I would bet him that we were right, but if we weren't, I'd give him $100. However, if we were, he'd have to wash my car. He didn't take me up on the bet, darn it. My car could have used it.
He must have envisioned when this guy washed the car.
