3 Blowouts and then almost an Anti-Padgett

[dsqrddgd909]

5/6 Grade Rec. First three no problem.

Last game, very tight, competitive, a little chippy at times. During the game we had:
1. Multiple scoring discrepancies between book and scoreboard.
2. Timing Issues. Clock not starting or stopping. After three or four times I make sure to check the clock. I'm not sure if I handled one correctly. I'm lead with the only scoreboard behind me. Roughly 1:05 remaining. I glance up and see the clock isn't running. I blow my whistle, stopping play and indicate the clock hadn't started. I then give a throw-in to the team in possession at the time. Did I handle this correctly? I have read through 5-9 and 5-10, (and done a search here) but I do not see the procedure for handling this. I only have the rules book at home (officials manual and case book at office.)
3. Called a last second foul at end of third quarter, basket was good, free throw missed.
4. Last quarter, see-saw. Tied, 20 seconds left. Team A has Throw-in on their endline, player on A requests time out. I grant it, but A doesn't have any time outs left. Coach A becomes agitated but not approaching a T. He doesn't think players could call time-outs. B attempts and misses both technical foul FTs. B has throw in, tries shot with 5-6 seconds left, misses and A rebounds, rushes down court and makes off balance 3. Whewww - no OT.

Lot of excitement for $25.

Of course, the scoreboard is not official. But I understand about kids rec games. If the scoreboard is allowed to remain out of synch, you risk a four-alarm medical emergency involving dozens of hysterical helicopter parents whose panties become so wadded they require the jaws of life to extricate them.

And, of course, if the shot missed, you had a foul on B, then a couple of lane violations also on B for reshoots (if needed) then a T on B's HC just on general principles (again, if needed).

I have more if you need 'em.
