Partner was the trail backcourt and didn't take the time to wait for me to give him the thumbs up. I didn't make a huge deal of it as I, too, wanted to get it going.

Coming up the floor, I heard some mumbling and quickly realized the losing team had six on the floor. Dammit. I whistle, we administer the technical.

Final is something like 77-30. At least we were in the car by 9PM.

Where's my good game? Huh?

1) The game is a blow-out.

2) Because the game is a blow-out. Suck it up and admit to the coaches that you and your partner made a big mistake by putting the ball in play before both you had done your due diligence (both of you counting players; and your partner for putting the ball into play without making eye contact with you) and that we are going to get the game restarted with only ten (five for each team) players on the court and you (as a team) will not make this mistake again.

3) Yes, HC-V is repsonsible for having six players on the court, but the officiating crew made a huge mechanics blunder in a game that is a blow-out. Therefore, a TF in this situation is a game interrupter.
