First quarter, no fouls

[Rich]

Worked 3-person boys varsity tonight. I called the first foul of the game with 6:30 left in the second quarter. It was a rebounding foul and a player pulled another player to the ground.

One of my partners told me at halftime it was a nickel-dimer and I should've passed. Then he laughed. Floodgates opened after that, I think we called 5 more in the quarter.

Six fouls in a quarter.....floodgates? Bwahahaha!
Just think, if you hadn't called that first nickel-dimer there may not have been any fouls at all! Bad Rich, Bad!

We had 16 in the second half. At least 4-5 of those were end of the game "we want to foul" fouls.

And I had a game with 57 fouls and 68 free throws the other night.

What's funny is the visiting team didn't shoot a free throw until midway through the fourth quarter. And while everything was peaches and cream when they were up 15 points, once the home team came back and took the lead he started in on us. I shut him down pretty quickly.

The home team only shot 6 the entire game (3-for-6). The visiting team ended up 4-for-9. The entire game took about 65 minutes.

There was a 50 point blowout boys game last night with a total of 17 fouls. I'm there on Thursday. The game will probably not be that close.

I had an NAIA game that involved 60 fouls the other night. 38 of them were in the 2nd half. Ugly.

Edit: Just looked at the box score. We shot 75 free throws.

Ouch!

I think my record was a freshman boys game several years ago - we had 63 fouls and could easily have called twice that.......
