Almost had a stroke (OT game) last night!

First OT in two seasons tonight. BV worked 2-man on a college court. First half was like a track meet.

Towards the end of the OT, I called my first intentional foul in about 3 years.

I "almost" had an OT game last night, but didn't.....and it was weird.

BJV, two big, rival schools. H is losing by 10/12 most of the game. H cuts the lead to 6 with 42 secs to go. Cuts the lead 4 with 25 secs to go. V bringing the ball up, Tweet! My P calls a foul, H's 5th with 21.3 on the clock. I figure we're going to have a long 21 secs.

H then drops back into a soft man-to-man. Clock winds down without any more fouling, incident or event. My P and I are happy and ran off.

We just didn't expect them to throw in the towel...... I wish more coaches would!

Bad me. 3 OT games this season...avoided my 4th one last night thanks to a missed shot at the buzzer! Whew!

Almost only counts in horseshoes, and hand grenades, not in basketball. That's why the ovetime didn't happen.

Yeah, well, my luck ran out today.....two OT Rec games out of the six I called.

Sorry to let you down Mark! I strive to be as good as you, but apparently have a ways to go. I'll keep working at it though!

I had the same thing happen last week. My guess: the varsity coach said, "Let it go."
