First Games

[bas2456]

Just got back...I made it.

My partner was an older gentleman with a limp. Needless to say we didn't do much switching. I did make a note of when it should have happened though. Got a few whistles from him in my area, but not too much of a problem

The games themselves were ok, and only one out of four coaches said anything to me, and he was asking a question. Had one play where I was L, and A1 shot the ball from behind the basket and it hit the basket supports. I blew the whistle, and then immediately realized it wasn't my whistle to blow. Oh well, the game wasn't close and we played on.

Had one comical situation...beginning of the second half, it's A's ball. A1 forgets which basket he's going towards and when he gets the inbound starts heading for the wrong basket. He then realizes his mistake, stops dribbling, and starts walking back toward the division line. Felt bad for the kid but we had no choice but to call travelling.

Other than that, nobody got hurt, and there was no overtime!

Very nice! Keep working hard and take something from every game.

I'm sure Mark is proud you didn't have overtime!
