Depending on which coach, or player, does the complaining, that could be a false double, or a false multiple, foul.

False Double Foul
4.19.9 Situation C: A1 has a breakaway lay-up. B1 commits a hard foul against A1 from behind and is called for an intentional foul. The Team A head coach protests, feeling the foul should have been a flagrant foul and is assessed a technical foul. Ruling: Award A1's goal if successful. A1 shall receive two free throws with the lane spaces cleared. Any Team B player is then awarded two free throws for the technical foul. Team B will be awarded the ball for a throw-in at the division line opposite the scorers table.

Sorry - you're right. In my head I was thinking "on the same play action". I forgot my black hat going to my NCAA game yesterday. I think I've been officiated-out and I need to take a week off of reading about officiating, thinking about officiating, etc.

What did you do without the hat?

I've had two uniform problems in twenty-seven years.

When I first started officiating, I used to carry a bag, with my shoes, socks, T-shirt, whistles, rule book, etc.; in addition to a garment bag, with my shirt, and pants, to keep them neatly pressed (no jacket back then). I arrived at a game site, very far away from home, to discover that I had left the garment bag at home. Back then we were wearing the IAABO gray, with blue trim, shirt, and we had a choice of wearing blue, or black pants. Luckily I had on my blue dress pants that day, so that wasn't a problem. I wore the plain gray T-shirt that was in my bag as a shirt. Boy, was I embarrassed. That was the end of the garment bag, now everything goes into the one bag, folded as neatly as I can.

Another time, I arrived at a game site having forgotten to pack my black and white striped shirt in my bag. Luckily, one of the junior varsity officials was the same size as me and let me borrow his shirt for the night. After that episode, I typed up, and laminated, a checklist. Every time, and I mean every time, I pack my bag, I take out the checklist and mentally check off each item. I hope to avoid any more uniform problems for the rest of my officiating career.
