Disagree. Would you rather be driving home and thinking to yourself, "I should have charged a technical foul in that situation". Now it's too late to drive back to the school and take care of business.

AAU-style 7th/8th grade today, and I'm kicking myself. First game, 2nd half and I call a foul on white. As I'm reporting, a guy sitting right behind the bench says something about calling the first one. I hadn't paid enough attention to their bench to realize he was an AC; if I had I'd have rung him then and there. Players were just as bad. HC was a peach, but my partner had to tell him to control his bench due to players officiating from the bench.

2nd game, I stuck one of his players for appealing to Jesus Christ for a call after I didn't give him one.

Yup. Can't appeal a no-call to a higher authority.

Did he yell something like this: For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13)

I am really hoping your response was something along the lines of "Fine, you can give your soul to Jesus but your a$$ belongs to me!" Whack!

I keed I keed of course...

"Son, Jesus isn't going to give you that call either."

Seriously, didn't say a word to him. I called the T, coach asked me on the way. "He thought we missed a call and swore about it."

Reported it, administered the FT and watched the player tell his coach he didn't do it. I almost want to go back just to work this team's games again.

Had my first FT disconcertion call in years.

I hit an assistant coach with one of those last season or the year before....seems like it was the season that the NFHS had made it a point of emphasis.

Amazingly, I still look/listen for it - but rarely, if ever, have experienced it since.

Things are so boring when you handle them professionally.

Had my first FT disconcertion call in years.

I nearly had one a couple of weeks ago during the freshman game I worked by myself. As the shooter was going up for his shot, one of the opposing team's players in the space nearest the shooter started squeaking his shoe on the floor. The shot was good and I told the offender to knock it off and if the shooter missed because of it, it would be on him. Of course the offender responded with "Oh I didn't mean to." Of course not.
