Guess I'll have to see this happen to understand. Out of curiousity what level of ball was this?
Good thing she didn't have dreds. That may have been an intentional. j/k

I called a kid OOB once when his nosehairs were touching the line.

It was the baseline, not the endline. If he was going to have his nose on another kind of line, he'd have to wait until he got to the locker room.

That would've been one of those close, "razor's edge" calls you often have to make.

(Almost all games tonight in SW Michigan, mine included, have been cancelled. As you can tell, all I have to do now is watch Law and Order reruns and monitor the discussion board .)

Personally, I'd say an injury is sufficient advantage to call a foul. Sort of like a poke in the eye when swiping for the ball. If I see it, I'll call it.
