Playing Officials

[tomegun]

I've had this happen to me before too. I was playing in a league where the official didn't have to touch the ball on violations/ball out of bounds. Additionally, we could run the end line - follow me here - and all the way up the sideline to halfcourt before inbounding the ball. Not my rules, but I used them to my advantage.
We had a game one night and something is called on the other team, I forgot what it was. The guy from the other team is holding the ball, I'm trying to get it to start a break and there is no call for delay of game. The officials don't even say anything to him. On the very next play my team violates or something and the ball is passed to me as the whistle is blowing. What do I do? I shoot a three - after the whistle. Technical foul.
After the game they (the officials) were telling me I should know better because I'm an official. I told them that I was playing on that night - not officiating. As such, I expected to be treated like everyone else.

When you are a player, just play and don't worry about the officiating except for getting a feel for what the officials' capabilities are.
