"Blue 30, Moose!"
 
check out this video. around 20-21 seconds what is the call being made? sure sounds like "moose" and she signals a full timeout...

I have no idea what the "Moose" is.

This must be rather old, because Cheryl Ford of the Detroit Shock was in the video a couple of times (she got hurt when the big WNBA Fight took place).

Maybe she was saying "loose." This looked like some kind of pro game and in many of those rules they have a loose ball foul.

Peace

Googled "Fury"....found out it's the Dallas Fury of a defunct wimmens pro league, the WNBL. Who knows.....or cares.... what the rules were.

She definitely said "moose", and not "loose", but it looks like she gave the NBA loose ball foul mechanic. The two shots are because of the penalty situation, perhaps.

she called and signalled "blue 30 loose"....as in loose ball foul....

It was a "moose ball foul". They have this call a lot in the PWBA (Pottsylvania Women's Basketball Association).

Here's their supervisor of officials diagramming proper mechanics for training one of their refs.

Boris and Natasha were mentioned (code names?) in Clifford Stoll's "A Cuckoo's Egg". Anyone else read that? Camron?

BTW - in the PWBA, if there's a tie at the end of regulation time, the first team to "keel moose and squirrel" wins. :rolleyes:
