Inadvertant Horn - Bus Tossing Rant

[johnsonboys03]

Well first I feel you got the call right. The horn doesn't stop play...I always yell play on play on when that happens. It is unfortunate that that happened but yes the ball wasn't touched and there was no whistle to stop play so it would go to team b at the same inbound spot.

As far as the officials throwing you under the bus...that sucks! It happens a lot. Seems that everyone wants while pregameing or post gameing officials bash other officials. It can be easy to get caught up in. But I'm making a conscience effort to not engage in that talk. But to do it publicly is even worse. I would make sure someone knows what happened. And I do nothing annonamously( sorry for spelling).

Clearly you have no experience with that concept as you don't even know how to spell the word.

They were courtside when our game was over and we just passed them heading to dressing area.

The horn sounded because a substitute had approached the table after partner administered ball for throw-in. When they couldn't get in immediately they returned to bench as horn sounded. The timer was someone I have seen do several games to was not really new to the job. Player was not at table prior to giving ball for throw in. I saw partner look there before giving A1 the ball.

I feel good about the way we handled the situation and can't say I would do anything differently. I don't see this as an inadvertant whistle.

Real class act those two.
Nice job handling the sitch....both on and off the court.
