Quick question

[Nevadaref]

Unfortunately, you had a couple of officials who aren't real solid with the rules. That's too bad, and it worries me whenever I see or hear of an official making such an incorrect ruling. It makes me wonder what else they screwed up that did have an impact on the game.

Hopefully, they will improve in this area.

I will say they did a decent job, and that was my only question the entire night. I will say they both had some trouble when players went to the basket hard and there was some contact. I know not all contact is a foul..but I just seemed they had bad angles on some plays..I know they didn't close down on shots and didn't get a good look at the players rebounding. But it was consistent so I really didn't say a work.

For someone who is coaching, your comments display an unusual level of knowledge of officiating technique. By that and your presence on this forum, I'm thinking you also an official. True?

While in college for 5 years I did officiate. I took a job teaching and began coaching. I do miss it very much and 99.9% chance that after the year is over that i am going back and will stop coaching.

I'm not so sure. The OP states that he was across the court and saw only that his player contacted the ball after it was released on the throw-in. The player might have reached across the plane just before the ball was released, which would have merited the DOG warning.

Maybe, but making the coach wait for his TO was an error.

Maybe, but the official calling the plane violation wasn't necessarily in error.

Forgive me; I tend to not just take the word of one person in these situations. I did not read anything that the official clearly told them that was in error. It sounds like to me like there was a communication break down and either the request was not understood or the coach did not understand what the official said to him. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Peace

Here's what I read:

I asked for a time out before they shot. The official told me I had to wait because they had to do things in order of they occurred. It didn't seem right, but it wasn't a big deal, I was just wondering.

Looks clear to me, but there's always the caveat of "if it happened as you say it did...."

What you just quoted did not tell me anything. Did the shooter have the ball when this conversation took place? Did the conversation happen after the FTs were taken? It almost sounds like there were two different situations going on because there is nothing in order of a delay of game that would prevent a timeout. That why it sounds like to me they were not even talking about the same thing possibly.

And I thought I was a natural skeptic.
