Heh, I posted on this what, a week ago?

I've only worked 3 nights of JH games, but it seems to be pretty constant among only the girl's teams as well. Annoying as hell. I liken it to "chatter" in baseball, which has driven me nuts for years, but is some of the pointless crap you deal with in these games.

Well for my two cents, wouldn't bother me, in fact I would probably have to chuckle the first time the defender can't hear her teammate call out a screen and she Da' Da's her face right into a shoulder!

I've seen this several times over the yrs. Mostly the "Ball, Ball, Ball" routine. Very annoying! I always wanted to go over to the coach and ask them if they ever saw it in college or the pros? And why do they teach or encourage it - other than to throw th other team off and be darn annoying?

lol ... thanks.

Actually it doesn't bother me. I've coached girls around here before and I actually taught it as well. It's not a big deal to me or most refs around here.

I don't think I've ever heard a complaint about this before today
