Our first 7th grade game went into OT. I was hoping for a tie after OT since I've never had a basketball tie in my career and would like to get one without having to go out to Montrιal.

You broke the second rule of officiating. Shame on you. If I was your partner and you let that happen, I'd smack you upside the head with a frying pan.

You're a team, you're both responsible for this. You could have called a T for extra free throws or something. Man up, Mark.

No, it's not on the crew, it's always on the R.
R always buys.

If I was his partner, that's what would have happened. However, he could have called something in the final second that could have resulted in a tie. Calling a T after that would only start the OT with the free throws. In my pregame, the first thing I tell a partner is I have two rules. One is "NO OVERTIMES!"

Dammit Mark, I'm a statistician, not a referee.

Priceless

Not sure if this would go here (didn't want a separate thread), but at yesterday's 7th grade girls game, visiting coach starts calling fror a sub. when I told him sub had to check in, he replid "you're being a jerk."

*shrug* He was probably mad he got whacked for having a wrong number on his lineup that he forgot to catch.

I don't usually give a lot of technical fouls to coaches, I've been around long enough for them to know that I won't take too much from them, but this would be an automatic technical foul in my game if I heard him say that. I would also have to do everything in my power to hold back saying a sarcastic comment like, "I may be a jerk, but at least I get to stand during the rest of this game".

That's why I'd never want to just work stats. No fun.

It's just a peeve of mine when I'm the home scorer when the visiting team has their subs sit at the far end of the scorers area and then yells at the table because we have no idea someone is there and we don't hit the manual horn. Normally, I bring my tape with me to put an X on the floor, but this particular game, I forgot. I just try to be preventitive and have all the players at least get my (or even my timer's) attention so I know we have a sub wanting to enter. If my particular team-of-the-season is the away team and our subs come sit by me, I'll try to tell them to move over the home scorer/timer, just so they can get into the habit of being in the right place.

But in spite of this coach's knee-jerk reaction (pun intended), he did get the hint and from that point on, he told his players to go down to where I was to report in.

###

But that's not the worst thing I've been called. Last year at a college summer league semifinal game. I arrived early and the league director was scoring the game and asked me if I wanted to finish that game and the next college game. I said yes (big mistake). In the second half, the house team , playing with 5, has a player foul out. Coach is ballistic and flat out accuses me of cheating -- never mind, I didn't even start the game as scorer and had no vested interest since it was a different division than I normally worked. Personally, I think the officials should have whacked the coach for that, but I doubt it would have calmed him down or made the game better. Still, I think it's the principle of the matter that unless you have something to show a possible mistake, you dont accuse a scorer of cheating and the officials need to address that, IMO.

The next college semifinal had another incident (not nearly as major as this, but still...) so I told the league director that I was not doing the next day's college finals; just the games I was originally supposed to do for the pro division.

I always try and protect my scorers as much as possible. I'm way less tolerant of coaches or whoever harassing them than I am me. I side with them on pretty much everything unless it is something blatant or obvious.
