Whether a headband is going around the head, or is a hair-control device.

He made me laugh.
 
This guy's so bad, it's actually amusing. He seems like a guy that has been doing the local (w)rec(k) ball for 20 years and this is his gift to everyone...a training video for the young dads in the stands that want to try this reffing thing.

Ordering pizza for halftime during a live ball.

Nice that you still remember the common people, but I know that a man of your stature has a member of his entourage to set up the halftime buffet.

Any foul call below JV. :)

I think it's a toss up between traveling and basket interference.

Edited: But if Padgett is ordering pizza, or better yet, has a halftime buffet, I'm going to work on Juulie to see if I can wrangle an invite to come work as the third official in their next game. :D

Who do you think orders the pizza?

I'm not wasting time watching this. I already watched the first one and can merely extrapolate to imagine the rest of the series.

To hear the crowd tell it, the calls we have the hardest times making are "over the back" and "keyhole."

Must be a regional thing.

Yeah. That's the Idaho way fans complain about 3 in the key. :)

Around here they just yell "3 seconds." No confusing it that way.

cdaref Tue Dec 09, 2008 01:33pm

I just put over the back and keyhole because neither of those are actual calls or names of calls and it is always kind of humerous to hear the fans shout them out. :) Though I have a funny feeling I wouldnt listen to them any more if they actually yelled out "verticality".

Obviously we get fans saying "3 seconds!" as well. But the real old school Idaho fans will yell "keyhole!" Picture a real old guy in the stands in flannel and youve got it about right. Particularly the further away from the towns and into the smaller areas like Wallace and Kellog. In Coeur d'Alene you get the more refined "3 seconds." :)
