I'm Glad These Aren't Basketball Scores ...

I finally decided to ref where I live rather than where I work (about an hour away), and I got a call late last night from my assigner asking me to update more information in arbiter so he could assign me games. He'd just realized I hadn't gotten any games yet and figured out why the system was blocking me.

As he noted, I should have called him sooner and asked him what was up.

My first game isn't until 12-2, though, unless they still have room on the preseason scrimmages.

Third game last night.

Girls game. Home team scored 18 points. Had more fouls in the game. Thursday night we had a total of 20 fouls the entire game and walked off the court 65 minutes after we started.

Last year I worked my third game just before Christmas.

I had my first scrimmage today. Actually did both the JV & V. Felt good to be on the floor again, though right now I am feeling a little differently after 10 qtrs with a 2 person crew.

Had my second scrimmage of the season last night - boys varsity. Was great to run up and down the court, and I feel good about things.

I am thankful for these scrimmages, though, as I'm definitely a bit slow to react and found plenty of things to work on in my next two scrimmages before my season starts Dec 1.

Man, I love this time of year!

Was supposed to be a girls' DH scrimmage. Had a JV official with me. Ended up as a boys' DH scrimmage. She did pretty well though. Coaches & players were pretty well demeanored throughout.

Ah, reminds me that I got to call my first technical foul of the year last night on visiting head coach. One of my partners had nailed the home head coach about 5 minutes after play started.

Fun, fun, fun...though V HC apologized later in the game and we had a nice laugh about it.

Good post. This is what the technical foul rule is all about. It's just one of many rules in the book. Some coaches just lose their cool every once in a while. It's not easy to coach. I know. I did it for over twenty-five years at the middle school level. Just because the coach said something unsporting, doesn't make him the devil, or our arch-enemy. One of the players traveled, and you called the violation. One of the coaches lost his cool for a minute, and you called the techncial foul. The fact that the coach later apologized reminds us that it's just a game, a game that is suposed to be fun for all.

4 varsity games and not a peep from any of the benches.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Just got my schedule tonight from my major assignor. Some pretty good games and I will have an opportunity to work with some folks for the first time. I have another assignor and should get a handful of games from him. And I will fill in a few gaps with some sub-varsity contests.

Acrimmage last night and two more till the season starts.

Guess so. My keyboard is a modified QWERTY. Home row has the 'a' & 's' reversed. Got a good deal on it, too.

after the scrimmage the 3 of us walked off the court and the scores had been cleared but the fouls showed 20 for each team. One of my partners graduated from the home school and one from the visiting school. One guy said "I called 15 on your school and you called 15 on my school, and Paul kept it from looking one sided."
