I assume you posted this for some constructive criticism. Overall your calls looked solid and the game seemed under great control.

My big impression is you (and your partner) both need to be moving a little more to be getting the better angles. You were both hitting your spot and staying locked there (except for one out of bounds play when you really had to hustle). Don't be afraid to take a few steps in either direction.

Watch for consistency on your counts -- Your 5 second count on inbound seemed a little fast to me (and the clock confirmed it).

Sharpen the mechanic on your player control call (good call tho) -- it was a little sloppy. Tighten it up a little bit and it'll go a long way to sell it stronger.

After your partner's foul and he's going to report to the table. Hustle down both to get that free throw going faster and keep things under control. There were a good couple seconds with no official anywhere in the 3 point arch. Nothing was happening but post foul I usually like to be there to make sure it stays that way hah :)

Other than that, looked good to me.

(Just my humble opinions, take em or leave em)

Well, it's why I posted this in December, anyway. Thanks for the feedback.

But seriously the schools responsible for telling the news crews who they don't have release forms for and they should not be put on tv or in the newspaper.
I don't know Wisconsin law specifically, but consent forms aren't applicable in journalistic situations like this.

I called, but so far no reward.

You sure that wasn't a golf tournament? The polite clapping at both ends was a bit unnerving.:p

I found this particular post, because it's been an interesting season.

I worked 40 varsity games this season and from January 5 until today, I've dropped 28 pounds. I'm still not quite at what I'd like to be, but I'm closer. By the start of some summer camps I signed up for, I hope to be. I will say this: My court coverage is remarkably different now than it was just 2 months ago.

If anyone is looking for the discipline to stick with a program, give Weight Watchers Online a try. It really works well.

You guys play long quarters up der behind da cheddar curtain in Wisconsin by golly doncha know. At the 2:16 mark on the tape it appears to say 9:50 left in the 3rd quarter.

Are these two small, rural schools? Looks like a sophomore game to me.

9 players (listed) taller than 6'3". It's a D2 (2nd biggest Division) game.

It is halftime. Apparently the scoreboard operator put up the '3' for the quarter.

The scoreboard clock says 9:50 at 2:19 in the video. Are you playing 2 halves in this game?

It's halftime. 10:00 on the clock (and running).
