Nevada would be proud
Had a blowout boys game last night, Home is down by 20 late third quarter.
Timeout over. I'm at table as trail about to resume play when C points to table, sub to enter. Nope, too late, I indicate as C gives me a quizzical look. At next timeout, we discuss and he's old school, "hey, home team, getting killed, let 'em in" I see his point and say maybe maybe he's right. That said, good partner who I like, coach doesn't say boo. Me,I'm glad I followed rule. What say you? |

For some reason I find it more acceptable to kill the clock during the last minute or two of a blow out to let subs in; but in this case, I'd have done what you did.
Now, if the guys who are reffing the games I want to ref tell me otherwise, I'll re-think it.

If the sub is late, make him or her wait.
If the team winning does the same immediately, would your partner let them in too?

That is a good point. I don't care what the score is, I don't change my way of officiating, even if it was 100-4 (which was the final score of a game, I think last year in Pennsylvania). You can't justify anything by saying "it's a blowout game". That was a good tip given to me by a veteran official a few years ago and I've always followed that "law" of his.

I don't agree with that. It might be the way that several in your local area do it, but it's certainly not regional. After all, I'm in your region. |
