JVB 65 - 16 final tonight. 38 - 12 at half and 53 - 14 after 3rd quarter.

The losing coach was chirping, "that's walk", "over the back", "3 seconds", etc. from about 10 seconds into the game. lol

I had a 96-16 girls varsity game tonight. 49-4 at the half. The winning coach called off her press after the 1st quarter and subbed liberally, but she only had 9 players and they were all very good and very well coached. The losing coaches coached their girls throughout and never said a negative word to my partners or me. I think Dr Naismith rolled over in his grave a couple times during this mess. My knees ache, my brain is numb, and I too am looking forward to a rare good game.

I have had a rash of close games. Just this past Saturday I had an overtime game. On Sunday my college game was close and went down to the wire and was a 2 point game with a blocked shot near the end. Tonight I had a game where there was a foul called on a shooting foul with time running out and down by one. The FT shooter hit both FTs and game is over. This also does not include the multiple OT games I had in 2007 or games that went down the buzzer. I would almost like a couple of blowouts. My game on Friday was not very good but it was nip and tuck most of the game.

Peace

I had 2 very good games tonight. The boys went into OT, and the girls went to the wire. I think it was the first girls game this year I had where we didn't shoot the bonus in a half. The first half went fairly smooth, contact wise. The 4th quarter, it got rougher. Still a decent game though.

On nights I've had 2 games, this is the first this year with 2 good ones. Heck, I've only had like 5 or 6 good games all year, so 2 in the same week is cause for celebration. I think we've got too many teams and it waters things down too much. At the HS level we don't need any B teams. One 9th, one JV, and one Varsity. I can blame most of my bad games on B team games.

I've been 1/2 lucky lately. Friday did a girls JV/V DH. In the JV game nobody scored until about 10 seconds left in the first quarter. Varsity game was pretty good though.

Did a Soph. girls/JV boys DH today. Soph game was a blowout, but a pleasantly quiet one. JV game was close and fun. Tied with about 5 seconds left when a kid from the home team buries a three to win the game.

I have a bunch of DH's the rest of the week. If at least one game of each pair is a good one, I'll be very happy.

in weak games I see stuff I have never seen before. Crazy plays that I just don't know what the heck to call. Shots that no sane person would attempt. I even laughed when this girl whose team was losing badly kept trying to toss the ball between her defenders legs. It worked once though. I had a wrong basket too. weak play but it was relaxed so its ok.

Let me put it to you this way. Many of the games I have referenced were not projected to be very good games. The 4 OT game I had earlier in the year, one of the teams was projected near the top of the conference and the other team was projected as to be near the bottom and is not historically a good basketball school. My two partners at this game were State Final officials and we were under the impression that we were going to have to basically keep one team from killing the other. Believe me, this was not a game I circled on my calendar as a "great" game. It just turned out that way.

Peace

I started with one of them thar blowouts last night....A 22 - B 5 in the first quarter. From there on it started to get more interesting. When B, down the entire night, slapped on the full court press in the forth quarter, A completely lost it an panicked. B scored the final bucket with 12 seconds left and won 52 - 51. A good one and I had a rookie official with me!

And NO Mark, I wouldn't have EVER let it go into OT!

If players would make their damn FTs then almost none of those OT games would have happen.

The game I had on Saturday that went into overtime (and referenced in another thread with the video), the visiting team was shooting double-bonus FTs and missed both of them. If he makes both it is a two possession game. If he makes one then only a 3 can win the game. Well he misses both FTs with 10.5 (or so) on the clock. They allow the home team to rebound the ball and then allowed them to go all the way under the basket and attempt a lay-up which put the game into overtime. Not much we could do there.
