Calling an illegal screen

[doubleringer]

Here's what I have. I try to get my fist in the air, but admittedly I know I get sloppy with this at the college level and it works its way into my high school games. Then I do my punch (team control foul) mechanic in the direction we will be going, say "illegal screen" and point to where the ball will be inbounded. At the table I report the color, number and give the team control foul signal and report it as an illegal screen. If a coach asks about it, I'll sometimes tap my knee, or toss out a little elbow to show what the player did.

Maybe not, but a more solid rules understanding couldn't hurt.

I agree. I also miss Jurassic Referee, and ChuckElias, and wish that they would come back to the Forum. I didn't know that the Forum had it's headquarters in San Diego.

Haha...

Knowing Spanish comes in handy during the game. Players who speak Spanish around here tend to express their frustration in Spanish, so when then they do I respond to them in Spanish. You should see the way the jaws drop when they hear it from me...

I stupidly took four years of French in high school. At the time, students were told that French was one of the official languages of the European Common Market, the U.N., and the Olympics. I figured that, being a New Englander (with 1/8 French blood in my veins), I had more of a chance of visiting nearby Quebec, than I did of visiting Spain, Mexico, or South America. Little did I know, back in the late 1960's, that the United States would, in 40 years, have the fifth largest Spanish speaking population in the world.

If I ever have a French speaking coach giving me some problems I can always respond to him with, "J'ai entendu qu'asse'et celui est votre avertissement".

You must have learned French off the menu in a French Restaurant, however there is one good thing about your translation. If the coach, like you, also learned a little French off the menu in a French Restaurant, at least he thinks that I'm insulting him. That's more fun than charging him with a technical foul.
