I'm 15 years old and work elementary basketball. Sometimes I have to work them by myself....sometimes I wish I was by myself. I was working a game the other night with a boy a year or two younger than I. Blue team is down by one with :30 left to play. Blue gets a rebound and sends a full court pass to a cherry picker underneath the basket. The pass is high it hits the kid's finger tips, hit's the floor and is about to go OOB when my partner reaches out, and taps the ball back to the kid who scores the bucket and wins the game by 1 point. Could not believe it!!! At first I didn't...but then I thought, "we can't have that, I should wipe it off.....but no i can't do that because the ref is part of the floor but....no that can't count..." but by the time i finally came to this conclusion it was 10 or 15 seconds later and I sure wasn't going to do anything about it then...although because it was so obvious i may have been able to sell it. So what would you do if your partner did this in a jr.high game or a jv contest? The ball is alive...ref is part of the floor....??? What would you do?
Thankfully the two coaches were good buddies and both laughed but the fans didn't find it as amusing! And neither did I!
