OMG - two firsts in the same week!

Unfortunately, I called this in a girl's middle school tournament game a few years back. Do you actually need 15 seconds to shoot a friggin free throw??? Funny thing is (in the games since then I have officiated) no player has come even close to 10 seconds ....maybe it happens every 10 years like the Perfect Storm. LOL!

I had one that Ive never had before last night in a GV game:

Team A spot throw in, 1-2-3-4-5, tweet, 5 second violation,
Team B spot throw in, 1-2-3-4-5, tweet, 5 second violation,
Team A spot throw in, 1-2-3-4-5, tweet, 5 second violation,
Team B spot throw in, 1-2-3-4.... finally the ball gets released and we move on!

I thought I was going to stuck in that spot (right in front of the cheerleaders, mind you) all night!

Now that I think about it, we had a first in our varsity game the other night. Opening tip, Home gets the ball. 1 quick pass, shot...ball wedged in between the rim and backboard. Never had that right off the bat before. Easy to administer, but just something you don't see often.

I had a wedgie on a free throw in a game last week.

So did I. Also in same game, I had a girl took all of 10 seconds the shoot a FT
(11 count as she shot the first time). Mentioned it to the coach first chance we got, did not have a problem after.

Hopefully no one saw it and we can go for another decade without anyone see one.

Ever seen this? Player shoots a three from the left corner of the court and the ball wedges on the FAR side of the rim! Only seen that once and last year the ball on a shot bobbled around and came to rest on the flange.

Had a girl shoot a freethrow, the ball hits the front of the rim and then lodges between the rim and backboard. I didn't know that was possible.

Were you playing for the Washington Generals?

Working 2-person GV tonight, I was the U.

Ball goes up and gets tipped by home to the floor and then off a visitor's fingertips, off of a home player's fingertips and out of bounds.

Without hesitation, I signaled the out of bounds violation and made sure the arrow was set properly. Nobody said a word. It was quite odd, though.

Quiet night except when the V coach wanted to use a timeout after a made basket and waited too long to request one -- the H player already had the ball in her possession out of bounds and was running the endline looking for someone to throw the ball to. All this time, the V coach is screaming for a timeout. After a foul, the coach "reminds" me that he can have a timeout until the ball is thrown in. When I told him that this simply isn't the rule, he accused me of arguing with him. I learned my lesson and stayed away from him the rest of the night.

28 down, 24 to go.
