5 OT. 81 fouls called with 131 free throws and 11 total players fouling out

Ehhh...I saw a girls game that actually end in regulation that had 70-some fouls and about 10 players fouling out (out of 20 on both team benches). Girls V by the way.

The kid that scored 65 that plays for Miller Career is coming to Missouri State next year.

Five overtimes!!! That's just sick. Those officials ought to be taken out and flogged. They're giving the rest of us a bad name.

And - thanks for calling me Mr. Weaselpants. I'm finally getting some respect around here. I was starting to feel like this guy:

I checked into why BillyMac hasn't posted in a day or so. His association says he's still involved in a middle school game that, as of mid-morning, has gone into its eighteenth overtime. They must have taken an extended intermission for some sleep sometime during the night. I can't wait to hear his report. This just might make all previous tired posts regarding OT's insignificant in comparison.
BM, let us know how it went, will ya?

You've got this all wrong. I was officiating a game on a cruise ship, and was just about to call a ten second violation, when the ship crossed the International Date Line. I had to wait twenty-four hours to continue my count, and with one team back in a halfcourt zone, the other team was just willing to dribble and pass in the backcourt. That's why the game took so long.

Mark, Jr., and I should be walking off the court right now but that is another thread which I will write tonight or tomorrow evening, fortunately, we are now able to watch Andy swim in his H.S. swim meet at B.G.S.U. before we officiate a boys' FR gam at 04:45pmEST, but I digress.


About ten years ago at the AAU Boys' 11U National Basketball Championships in Cocoa Beach, FL, we were having the pre-tournament officials meeting (read: beer, pizza, and cigars, , but no dancing girls, ) and the subject of OT was being discussed. I made the statement that a good team will send a game into the first OT but a good official will not allow a game to go a second OT.

The first two days of the pool play I had the first game of the day (08:30amET) at the venue and both games went double OT, .

I am a bad official, .

Says only one silly Forum member. I know that you're only trying to be funny, but coaches, and fanboys might believe you. I sincerely believe that this one Forum member is only trying to be funny, but he'll never admit it. Especially now that water boarding is considered torture.
