Another pet peeve

[Coltdoggs]

My peeve is along those lines when the defender is sneaking up behind a breaking dribbler and instead of swiping with the motion of they are running with the inside hand, under dribbler's arm, they come in over the top of the arm and whack straight down and you get the GOOD D Johnny from the coach!

Yeah, it was so good he just put your opponent in the bonus!

[Adam]

All of my coaches taught us to swipe up, not down, on these plays. Swiping down brought a greater risk of a phantom call, and was less effective. Every time one of us would swipe down and get called, the coach would give us hell, not the official who made the call.

In your first post you never stated that there was contact or that the kid hit the dribbler. You only mentioned reaching as if that was why you called a foul on the player.

Why in heaven's sake would you assume that?

Because you wrote this:

Because you wrote this:

You failed to read the whole post "clearly fouling A1"

I can't make it any clearer, counselor. Operative word is clearly.

Don't be so silly.

Bonehead is worrying about the coaching principles being passed along to players then being bewildered when not everyone agrees with you.

Putting it more clearly would be to actually say what he did to foul A1, not say he stripped the ball.

My first thought when I read the OP was did he call the foul for reaching?

So no it WAS NOT clear.

A little crisp today , are we?

Don't believe I mentioned worrying anywhere. I hope fabricating things doesn't carry over to your officiating

Not sure if you came over from officiating soccer or another sport recently, if so, I understand your frustration with comprehending the thread.

I'll agree with on it being your first thought.

Obviously that is one more than you have had.

I don't know, Fullor, I had the same thought as well. In fact, you still haven't stated what he did to foul.

Nah, don't think I've posted anything in the Soccer forums. Mostly just watch my kids play and frown when parents start to berate the officials.

I mostly lurk around here to get a better understanding of "over-the-back" and "3-second" calls. But thanks for your concern!

No problems in that department. I never call phantom "reach across the body" fouls when point guards get the ball stolen.

That's because he can't...he called a reaching foul in the best Billy Packer style of officiating...he's just deflecting.

Geesh............... the whole point of the stoopid thread was a coach who likes to ride the official by complimenting his player for an obvious foul(take your pick) rather than use it for a teaching situation.

It doesn't matter what foul I called, again , that's not the point.

(Pssst, if you must know I called #28. Don't tell Badnews or Nevada, I'm having too much fun.)

Pardon me, I was away perusing the Lacrosse forum. What did I miss?


Well look at that, 1,500 posts!!! That badminton forum sure has kept me busy.
