Overtime

People seem to forget that a good newcomer takes some time to get to know the people who have been posting a while before jumping in with both feet. And actually, SAK fits the mold of a good newcomer -- he already said he's been around for a while and knew what Mark was going to post.

Personally, a great game goes to OT and I feel like it's a great thing. But not all OT games are created equal -- I had a varsity girls game a few years back where the score was 24-24 after regulation and we called more fouls than that, including technicals on both head coaches. I'd rather have had painful dental work than sit through 4 more minutes of that.

In one season I had the experience of both a great and a horrible OT game. Varsity boys, home was down big early, climbed back the entire 2nd half and sent it to OT with a layup with just a few seconds left. Great game.
JV girls, small school, score tied at 18 with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter. After the first OT, the score was tied at 18.

Nov 2008, Maryland beat Vermont in OT, 89-74. Maryland tied the game with 6 seconds to go in regulation and apparently sapped all the strength and enthusiasm from Vermont who was ahead most of the second half. Md outscored Vt 17-2 in OT!

That's the most lopsided OT I've witnessed. Any others?

The varsity game I alluded to above, actually. Home had tied it with a couple seconds left after trailing by almost 20 late in the 2nd quarter. Score ended up 70-55 in OT. Home won 15-0 in OT, lots of free throws.

Mark Padgett really loves OT because he just loves wearing his black and white striped velvet officiating shirt and black satin hotpants with black fishnet stockings and black patent leather officiating shoes with 6" stilletto heels.

Actually, the shoes are leopard skin and have 9" heels - and they have nothing to do with overtimes, unless the coaches "misbehave", if you know what I mean.

As I currently do mostly boys High School games, I hope and pray that I never see any of the male coaches in that.

Padgett, do you shave or use Nair on those legs?
