And One
 

I guess it is just one of those things that sets me off. :mad: It really upsets me to hear a player yell "and one" after he or she shoots a lay-up. Sometimes the ball doesn't even go in the basket. Am I being to sensitive or is my frustration justified. I have given a T for this before when I thought the player was showing up me or my partner. I also really heard about it from the coaches , which makes me think I am making something out of nothing. Any thoughts/comments?:confused:

"And one technical foul." :D

So if you told a coach to stay in his coaching box and he told you to pay attention to what's happening on the floor, would you think you were making something out of nothing?

Yes to both options.

If the player is really showing you up, then call the T. that's happened exactly zero times in games I've worked. Most of the time it's just habit -- it's not much different from pointing in the team's direction when any contested ball goes OOB.

My vote is being just too sensitive. If you ignore them enough they will stop yelling "and one." :D

Peace

Some comments don't deserve a response. "And one" is one of them. Just ignore it. If it is starting to distract you, just ask the person to stop. I just can't imagine giving a T for something like that. "Don't look for trouble, trouble will find you often enough anyway."

Had a game last week where the home team yelled "And One" on their first five or six shots - all drives to the hoop. On the lat one, there actually was a foul. As one partner is reporting and everyone is lined up waiting for the shots, I looked at my C and said something to the effect of "Hey Partner, are you getting tired of hearing all this 'And One' garbage? Cause it's starting to tick me off." Partner smiled and nodded, shooter turned to one of the other players and said "Hey, we better knock it off."

Didn't hear it again that night.:D

Bingo.

I don't think it is worth a T, I have enough other things to call a T for. :D

I do what Rocky described in situations where I want everyone to know what I'm thinking. If they know if bothers you and they aren't smart enough to stop then do what you have to do.

I used to work with a guy (since deceased - Portland area officials may know to whom I am referring) who as part of his pre-game would tell both coaches, "and I don't want to hear any of that one-one crap".

initials JS? Yea, I miss him...

Had a guy on our crew who joked when someone yelled "and one" He replied "anna two" For you youngsters out there, Lawrence Welk used to say that just about every time before a 'melody' he played.

"Tank you boys"

Yup. :)

I do not think that is just an issue of age, some of us would have never watched Lawerence Welk at any age. :D

I am old enough BTW to have seen his show on PBS, I just turned the channel. ;)

Peace

I'd cut my own nuts off before watching that particular show.....then and now.

I just could not resist
 

After that would that mean you would not have the balls to call a T when appropriate? :D

This is a better way to do it. :D

Peace

:D

Is that the avatar for "Ralph" ?

Definitely the post of the week! :D

You say that now . . .

I've also seen Jeff call fouls as a "cross body block" and an "illegal chop block". He was really fun to work with, especially one game in which he tossed both head coaches in the first quarter. This was a kids rec game.

I miss him too.

I guess then you'd have to work all your games at this facility:

As I grew up
 

we went to my grandparents every Sunday. We ate, watched Larry Welk with grandma and then watched the next show, Hee Haw, with Grandpa. I'm still not right.

I used to call your grandparents. Their number is BR549. :p

We used to go to my grandmother's apartment in Hyde Park on the South Side of Chicago on Sunday nights for dinner. After dinner, the entire family, including numerous aunts and uncles, would watch Ed Sullivan in black and white. Television was still in its infancy and so was I.

"A Really Big Show"
 

From Mark Padgett: "Would watch Ed Sullivan in black and white."

Of course, every Sunday night it was "A Really Big Show".

I remember my slightly older, female, teenage cousins, literally SCREAMING, while they were watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show.

The night they appeared, there was a graphic in front of each one showing their names. When they got to John, the graphic showed his name and then said, "Sorry girls, he's married" or something like that. My uncle said, "Yeah, he's married to the one on the end." It was a reference to their long hair.

BTW - this incident was copied in the movie "That Thing You Do" - not the comment by my uncle, just the graphic which said, "Careful girls, he's engaged".

Hey, when you're at Nana and Grampa's house as a kid and they had it on the old Philco, not much choice........:o

It's kinda like Spanish TV for me, I don't quite understand whats going on but the women were and are still HOT....IMHO

Especially the Lennon sisters. Check out the legs.

"And 1 ref"

No thanks kid, I wear Nike!

And signal it with a smile... :cool:

I think if it happens more than once, we need to address it. Ignoring it and "hoping" it goes away is the wrong attitude. This only encourages further non-sporting behavior not to mention causes a problem for the crew that has this team in their next game. I'm sure we've all tried to enforce a rule near the end of the season and been told that "why haven't we heard this before?"

I think the biggest thing is reminding the players that we are there. Just strike up a little dialog and then ask him to tone it down a little bit has worked well for me in the past.
