A ten second five second count?

[Adam]

When a coach asks me if I'm sure, I look at them like I look at my 10 year old, and speak softly (as I would speak to my daughter), "Yes, Coach, I'm sure."

My daughter asks me that question all the time (when she's not verifying what I said with her mother), so I've got practice.

So, how often does her mother agree with you?

More often than coaches.

Examples, please, of the times you were wrong. The rule myth I run into the most is when my partner tells players they must stand behind the division line during the shooting of technical fouls. And, with the amount of technicals I call, that happens a lot.

I really dislike when we do that, it clearly puts one team at a disadvantage!

Had a Gold Crown game last spring where the coach asked me if his kids had to go behind the division line. Seems to me he knew the rule but wanted to see if I was going to enforce it correctly.

Smart coach.

Tref:
I do not see blue type in your remark but I sense sarcasm, No?

You are depriving one team of the chance to have a private consultation with their bench, depending on 1st half or 2nd half.

Why perpetuate a myth?
