Not to worry
We're in the medal round next weekend after two amazingly close wins - a 2 pointer and an overtime win in a winner advances game. First time to break thru in three years of regionals - girls were PUMPED! Oh yeah, and coach was pumped too
 I wudda sent you a bottle of Chivas, Mick, but you blew the question! Hope you were readin' your rules - us coaches never have time

dbl - Honestly, it was a mixed bag, as usual for the level of play. The worst case was an official who actually crossed his partner - haven't seen that in a long time (don't do it guys!!!). Opponents player attempted to catch a pass thrown over her head, fails to catch and drops ball in front of her, falls to floor and is holding ball. She gained control somewhere in all of this, may have already been on floor before getting control, maybe prior to reaching floor. Trail (R1) near play but on back side of receiver passes on call, lead (R2) on other side but in position to see whether control was gained, calls travel.
R1 is by my bench and looks at me as he gives us the ball to inbound and says "That wasn't a travel - she didn't have control." Even repeats it, like I don't get it and repeating the exact same phrase will aid my comprehension. Luckily for R2 I don't think the opposing coach heard it, although every player in the area from both teams (including my entire bench and the girl who may or may not have travelled) heard this comment. R1 has just put the target on R2's back. Anytime R2 makes a questionable call you can go to R1 and appeal the call, saying, "we both know he makes bad calls!"

Just got a call from my assignor and on Saturday, I have the 6:30 & 8:00 G14 AAU games at Thomas Jefferson HS. I also have the 8:00 pm game for G12 AAU at Westfields HS. Do you know if you will be at either location?

I am at Westfields at 1:45 - 12U B bracket playoff, with two games the next day if we win this first game, go home for good if we lose. Probably won't cross paths - oh well!
Also, I advise you double check that Saturday 8 PM game time. The Vogues have adjusted a lot of schedules, I just tried to see who in 12U you might have and found only a 7PM game at Westfields. There is no game listed for later than 7PM in either A or B bracket Saturday. There is an A bracket championship game on Sunday at 8 - I will probably attend that game to watch, if we survive Saturday (because we will have a late Sunday game at a minimum, with two championships to follow - and with some luck, we could be the first championship game).

 Any idea on who I might have at 6:00 & 8:00 on Saturday at Jefferson? If you get a chance, take a look at the 8:00 championship game at 8:00 on Sunday. It would be nice to have your comments and to "meet" a fellow poster. I will be the tall, handsome ref....my partner (unless it changes)will be a "vertically challenged" Black official (good ref and a good partner).

You got a couple of PG County A teams from MD, the Sparks and the Lady Panthers. Expect fast, physical teams with extremely vocal fans in this matchup. Don't see many teams in this age group, so I don't know how they'll match up.
Then you got Maryland Flames B team from Montgomery County against the Lady Cougars from PG County. I expect this might be a bit of a mismatch unfortunately, but you never know til they suit up and play - let me know! You did real good on your Sunday game. This will be the championship, unless the losers bracket team wins, in which case they will replay on Monday. either way, you get the top two teams. Having watched all the top teams in this age group, this game will likely be very close and a gem to watch. I hope we are playing on Sunday (medals would be nice after all!), and I will surely stay for this game. Hopefully I am the one with the happy team.
