boys midschool game

[TrojanHorse]

As a side note..Last night, I have two boys go up for a rebound. Official who is trail, Calls a foul on my bigger kid, #55. I mentioned to him that he pushed #4, who is also on our team. He had already reported the foul...but he consulted with the other official, I guess to confirm that my guys were the only guys. And then he said he had an inadvertent whistle, took the foul away and gave us the ball. I considered it a victory for me..but I wasn't sure he could do that. To say the least, the other coach wasn't very happy.

He absolutely can do that. Good job on his part, and he'll pay more attention next time.

Similar thing happened to me this year. V team has two different colored jerseys, red and gray. V's big girl goes right through the girl in front of her to get the rebound. I hit the whistle and close on the play only to discover that the girl in front of her was her teammate in a gray jersey.

Dangit!

Called it an inadvertent whistle and went with the AP since we weren't sure V had actually controlled the rebound before the whistle.

I've called two teammate on teammate fouls, both involving rebounding action, in twenty-eight years. Hopefully I can complete my officiating career without calling another.
