Gutless!
As a non official friend of mine calls us sometimes, in jest.
GV, I was new lead in a transition steal, A1 has a straight line to basket, B1 right on her, but behind, fouls her with no chance to make a play. I don't call intentional. Darn! A coach whines a little but is comfortably up, which was good for me. All day, I was thinking about exact situation. Darn it!!! Partners both said they would have probably called it. It wasn't that obvious, but definitely an intentional. Filed away......... Last edited by fullor30; Wed Jan 27, 2010 at 10:49am. |

All Four Intentional ...
Push from behind, bear hug, jersey grab, excessive contact?

It's there or not
If it's intentional or flagrant, I know it when I see it and call it as I see it. Thinking about whether it was intentional or flagrant never did anyone any good. It's there or it's not, and the question of whether it is there or it's not is a matter for the calling official, not to someone making an out-of-area observation. The other official may have an observation to make later about whether an intentional or flagrant ought to have been called, and we will discuss that in the spirit of improvement. But on the court, if I have the foul, I have the determination of intentional or flagrant and my word is the last and only. Having an other official chime in by ruling on whether or not a foul I call was intentional or flagrant is a recipe for disaster.

btw, the disaster occurs after an intentional or flagrant foul is not called when it is needed (either during the game or the next day when your supervisor calls you to discuss your lack of action).... |

I like your friend's style! I hope that it only takes a couple of these "moments" for you to leap over this hurdle. Some officials never make that jump. They will always be weak and shy away from making the tough call in a critical situation. I don't look forward to working with those partners. |

That said, if I observe an intentional of flagrant foul ANYWHERE on the court, I will blow the whistle and if one of my partners also has a whistle, then we can talk, but I'm not yielding to him if he only has a common foul. I learned a long time ago from a fantastic mentor to never give up anything which you see as intentional or flagrant. You are correct that passing on such is going to lead to big problems later. |

First of all I called it. If they want to come in to discuss, fine. Secondly, it wasn't much but there was no intent to make a play as she was directly
behind A1. |
