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.

Wow...........I was thinking last night of posting the same thing. Girls Varsity, 25 point blow out. I'm the R , my partners could care less about a pregame, or the game for that matter, coaches seemed bored, I was in C the whole fourth quarter, lead never rotated. I was HOME by 9:00. |

Let's just remember that blowouts are sometimes the games where the biggest messes occur. We tend to let down our "guard" and get too relaxed and the next thing you know, the sh!t has hit the fan and we are in a mess.
A decent example of that would be my son's JV game last night...our coach disciplined four of the starters for breaking a team rule (they skipped a class on Monday - ) and made them sit the first half. So at halftime the score was 32-6 (my son had 5 of the 6 )...the refs came out for the second half with the 4 starters back in and didn't know what hit them. The intensity level tripled, the pace of the game went way up, and things got a little dicey for a while. Moral of the story - we all have blow-outs we have to deal with, but we don't get to put it on cruise control... And btw, the worst one I ever reffed was GV and it was 111-17 with a 30 second shot clock...yuck. |

I do not officiate basketball, but do read a lot of the posts. I thought I had read that, if the ball was put into play with six players on the floor, the whistle was sounded and the player was removed with no penalty as the official had failed to count. I even saw this last night at my son's game. Near the end of a fairly close game, we had a sub at the table. The ball went out-of-bounds under the basket and the old trail/new lead beckoned the sub into the game. There was some confusion between our players as to who was to go out and no one left. The coach was talking to an assistant and did not realize no one had come off. The new trail put the ball into play and as the ball was coming up the court, the new lead realized no one had left. He blew the whistle, had the player leave, and resumed the game with a throw-in. The visiting coach questioned him and I could hear the explanation that it was an official's error for not counting. The coach accepted the explaination and the game continued without any problems. So there should have been a technical even though the officials messed up? |
