Yeah, I can see how the metric system is so much better than what we use.
No wonder you never see a 3 second violation under FIBA. They count in their head:

1 micromillidiggitydiggitydiggitydiggitieliters
2 micromillidiggitydiggitydiggitydiggitieliters

Especially if a coach is hollering '3 seconds' and makes the official lose count.

just for clarity:

fiba officials do not dribble into their whistles, and in the rare event an american ncaa/hs official works a fiba game: we have the table issue them a fresh new whistle after every tweet:D it slows the game down, but once everyone understands its a yank official their fine with it.

Hey now, take it easy, don't paint with such a broad brush.

So far only 1 of us admits to being a chronic drooler.

Even then I don't do it - just one more thing that is not your job that you have to think about...what if you have a discrepancy with the arrow, are you always 100% positive that you change it in your pocket every time? Let them handle it, if they mess it up they will probably only do it one time and be more on top of things after that....

There was one game I did where the girl didn't even pay attention to the arrow.. in fact the first AP.. after the half.. the arrow was UP. :eek:

thats why I do it. Its not a big deal and it helps me keep track of the game better. I like knowing.

I will need a link to his meds.

On a more whistley note, in 12 years of coaching, I have never heard a whistle gone bad. In 5 games so far this season, I've heard 3 go down...and all three never had a spare.

When I need to wet my whistle, my favorite beverage is Rolling Rock. Oh wait! Sorry, different type of wetting my whistle. Never mind. :D

Is this before the game and at half, or do you keep your steins courtside for timeouts as well?
