The instances I had last night weren't that easy, hence the borderline nature. Wish I could have had an easier call, the kids were mouthing off a ton

In my opinion it has to be obvious and probably no contact for me to call it. But often there is contact and you have to make a judgment. Embellishing is different than faking in my opinion. Most of the time you see an embellishment of the contact, not a complete faking.

I agree with Rut on this. Usually these players actually think they got fouled but want to embellish to prove it. Other times, they're merely bracing for contact. Sometimes, by bracing too quickly, they end up moving out of the way and there's no contact. You need more than just falling down to get the technical foul, usually. Limbs flailing and grunting would likely need to be involved as well.

I typically tell the player to "make a basketball play" (stole that quote from an official a while back). Make sure you are reacting to contact -- not hoping that there is. |

O they got one after I called travelling when a kid caught the ball, hopped, then jumped to shoot...kid couldn't believe it.

I gave one in a Varsity HS summer camp game. Camp was at Lipscomb Univ. in TN. The player's team was from Alabama. Player had LGP, opponent near end of drive pulled up for jump shot, defender flopped and grunted loudly rolled around like gut shot. Reported T, coach asked for clarification, I gave it. He said "in 36 years of Basketball I have never seen that call." I said "better to see it in camp ball than a regular season game." He agreed and yelled at player, "this is not acting class, stay on your feet and play defense."
