How bad does this look?

[Terrapins Fan]

3 man, Girls Varsity.

Good game to the end of the first half. 31-29. I am the R. We had a very good ( my opinion ) pre game. Evaluator in the stands, we know it.

Visitors take a 20 point lead in the 4th quarter. With 35 seconds left in the game, from the lead, I call a foul on home team #30. Table tells me it is her 5th foul. I go to the coach and tell him, he turns to a player for replacement. I tell the table to start the 20 second clock, I turn to tell #30 that it's her 5th foul, but the sub comes to the table and I beckon the sub into the game. I turn and tell my partner 2 shots.

We shot one shot and the players jump in for the rebound. I blow and say " that was 2 shots" Partner comes to me and says " we already shot this first one, that was the second".....We get it right and go to P.O.I and give it back to home who rebounded the ball.

How bad did we look? Over all, we had a very good game for 31 minutes plus.

Huh? They shot the first while your back was turned and you were taking care of business

I dont get why they would have shot the first one, when there was a disqualification? Where were you looking to allow this? And what were your partners doing?

Before the "second" shot, you didn't hear your partner yell "one shot" or whatever?

Yes. When we went to shot the shoot that I thought was the first, but was the second, I was closer to the table and partner is not a loud person, so I did not hear him say " One"

It is a 94' floor and large gym with a crowd of about 250.

After I reported the foul, table told me " That's 5" I went to the coach, away from where we were shooting, So I am about 55 feet from the basket that we are shooting at. it all happened in about 15 seconds from the time I reported the foul, to tell the coach, to getting the sub into the game.

1. It looks bad that your partner didn't look at you before administering the FT.
2. It looks bad that the C didn't notice either.
3. This is a good secondary reason to have your partner inform the coach that it's the 5th foul.

I hope the evaluator had a dull pencil

So, I am near the table because I report the foul and they tell me " that's 5" And I should turn away from the table, go to my partner, tell him, " that's 5 on #30" and have him go to the coach and say " That's 5 coach"?

To me that slows the game down.

No, we got it pretty good after the game. You wouldn't have wanted to be in the room. you really wouldn't have wanted to be outside of the door.....

I always inform my partner(s) before doing the coach/timer/player sequence. No rush.

It keeps the coaches from retaliating against the 5th-foul-calling official.

+1

The official who reports the foul should handle the DQ/sub.

Live and learn...don't let it happen again...you will pregame the heck of a disqualified players before your next game.

I know this is the mechanic Snaq, but in reality how practical is this in some cases? You go to the table to report a lot of times the scorer is already looking at you when you get there with the "five" up. Are you walking away from the table to go tell one of your partners (who are either lining up for free throw or inbounds) that you have five fouls, go tell the coach? It seems like most times if I come to the table I end up informing the coach just to keep things moving.
