But how will the timers know? :D

Kansas vs. Michigan State - Recap - January 10, 2009 - ESPN

"The game was officiated for the last 24-plus minutes by two officials because veteran referee Steve Welmer limped off the court with an injured right foot."

Reporting a blarge as a double foul.

So how would it work when there is a double whistle with one official wanting to call a violation and the other a foul?

That is the rule, it is not a mechanics issue.

Doesn't hurt them in the NBA. I also work with (and sometimes resemble) a guy who frequently calls a PC foul with a point in the other direction. No blarges in 20+ years and if I had one it wouldn't exactly be the end of the world.

It's still silly.

Clock will stop automattically due to the sensors in our brains knowing we're going to blow the whistle. Timers will no longer be neccessary.:D

Or, they'll just hear the whistle. Oh wait, that's what they do now.

I can rearrange my schedule.........

1)diasagree, as I'm not good at it!

2)Strongly agree.

My point (literally and figuratively) exactly.

Can You Hear Barbra Streisand Singing In The Background ???
 

Me too. The trail would dictate the rotation. As the lead, you had to get used to different partners. Some would rotate too quickly, they were obviously uncomfortable working opposite, as it was called back then, even if there was a key matchup in their area. Other partners would take their time working opposite. I remember that I had a partner who once who suggested, in a low level game, that we work opposite for an entire period, just for fun. I remember this experience as being surreal (I definitely have been reading too many of mbyron's posts lately).

The same way it works now, the same way it works in the NBA and NCAA.

If there's a double whistle, I raise my hand and you raise your fist, we come together and discuss.

If there's a double whistle, I don't raise my hand and you raise your fist, we come together and discuss.

I bet you weren't good at bouncing the ball to the FT shooter or thrower but you've perfected it by now. :)

Good Idea To Mention This In Pregame Also ...
 

Good mechanic. Rookie officials pleae tazke note.

I dont know for 100% sure but I think the Welmer injury is affecting all levels of college ball. Reason I say this is because I have an NAIA D1 game tomorrow in the Kansas City area and our R has been removed from the game and replaced. Our original R for the game works in the big 12 and was working the K-State vs. Ok game Saturday, so I'm wondering if he had to go fill in somewhere for the Big 12....
