A "game interrupter" is any call made that the official using the term might happen to disagree with.
![]() The only true game interrupters are bad calls.... a la calling a foul for incidental contact.....or in the case of 3-seconds, calling it strictly by rule instead of by standard practice. And note that even then standard practice may vary from area to area. Why not just say "don't make bad calls"? Muxbule, I wasn't questioning you per se. I was just questioning the general use of that particular term; it kinda turns my crank every time that I see it. Rich and Snaqs knew the point that I was trying to make and both gave a very good explanation of it imo. |

Your point that 3-secs seldom happens at the V level is my experience too.

The term 'game interrupter' is used by some officials to mask the claim that they think a type of call is bad (3 seconds, 5 seconds, whatever). Rather than discuss whether the particular call was in fact good, they use a slur. Hadn't thought of it like that before. Thanks, Jurassic!

This is the same guy who when a player picked up her dribble in the lane and was trapped by 2 defenders and I called 3 seconds because no attempt was made to try a pass or shot. He asked "Did you yell at her to get out of the lane"? As my other partner had his jaw gaping, I asked him how she would get out without a double dribble or travel. Why penalize good defense?

Had a game the other night where the Visiting team would consistently lower their shoulder and SLAM into the defensive rebounder who had position in front of them...we had 4 quick fouls on them for this. Their Coach - as I am reporting the 4th to the table - says to me:
"Well, I see you guys down here don't know what boxing out is." (They were from the northern part of the state). My reply: "Coach, slamming into someone and knocking them 5 feet across the key is NOT boxing out." Coach: "But we teach them to do that!" ![]() Me: "Ok Coach. But we're gonna call it." Coach: "But how am I supposed to get them to stop doing it now?" At that point I just walked away...interestingly enough, they only did it maybe twice more the entire game. |

Just let 'em do it five times each.
