Here is the clip I described. I'm not in this video; it is from the Nevada 4A girls championship. We used this for training Sunday.

Yikes! I guess this is a lesson in what can happen when we don't get the first one... and when the first one is (what looks like) a dirty play, all hell breaks loose.

Tomegun, it's tough to see the first foul in the back court, can you explain what happened?

I wasn't there and it is hard to tell if the defender fouled the dribbler first. But, we can clearly see the dribbler extend her arm and nothing was called. While we watched this video, someone who was there - 33 years experience - said the official who didn't call the first foul wasn't ready for this game. Someone else who was there said there wasn't much crew communication. He said this as if the other two weren't talking to the third official all game. Two points of view, but there were 3 fouls on this play before the fourth was called.

Maybe Nevada was there and can comment.

I think a common rookie mistake is to think that with just 2 opponents in the back court nothing bad can happen, so just do your count and move up the floor. I think this partly because I have made this mistake.

Watch the players.

I agree with others to say that there is nothing about what I saw that I can say what should have been called. We do not see enough of this play to decide. We see the end result and a player going down does not mean a foul occurred. If anything the reaction was delayed and I have seen players try to fake an official into a foul call based on how they react. There may have been a foul, but this video does nothing for me based on what I see.

Peace
