bad news about injured player

[Adam]

Could it have been prevented? Maybe, maybe not. The fact is, players get hurt all the time, sometimes on missed no-calls. The key is, can you learn from this?

Yeah, take charge even if I'm not the R and I see something that should be penalized correctly.

At halftime I told my partner, who was the R in the rulebook, that we need to say something to that player who kept flopping, I'm ready to T him up. My partner says "oh c'mon, when have you ever seen an official call that? No one!". I'm with this partner again for CYO games tomorrow, and I will be on a short lease with him.

I can no longer be the nice guy anymore. My friend was right, I got no balls. I need to toughen up like I am in soccer, or I have to hang up the whistle.

Here's the thing, a quick warning to this player stops it 99% of the time, that's why you never see it called. If you warn him, and he does it again, he has no argument and your T becomes easier to call.

You know what, I never thought of that. Damn it, you guys really do know it all haha.

That is a good point, which is probably why my partner said that it's never called. When I ref with him tomorrow, I'm gonna say just what you said. It's never called because a warning usually cleans it up. And if it doesn't, one or two blocking (no contact) calls will probably clean it up.

How can you call a personal foul for blocking when no foul was actually committed because there was no contact?

Here's a suggestion:
1) learn the rules
2) make the correct call by the rules.

That's what I was thinking but few have told me they would call it that way before T'ing up the flopper. So I'm incorrect there...

Warn and wack. I hate the flopping thing. It was big several years ago and I had no problem giving a T for this. The majority of the time its in the lane and under the basket. Not a basketball play and unsafe.
