Ugly Timeout Situation - Discussed Before

[CHSLadyEagle]

Thanks JR! Merry Christmas to you too! RookieDude may not let me live down that weak throw of the ball to him at the start of the 3rd Quarter from the table. Blame the occupational hazard of tendonitis from repetitive foul entering while working Girls JV Scoreboard. The visiting team had at least 15 fouls each half. I should of had my hubby throw it to him. He worked scoreboard for Boys JV in the other gym. There's 2 times during Girls JV, that I wished the Visiting coach would of been seatbelted for being out of the coaches box & in front of the center of my table. I don't know if anyone saw him do it. There was a incident in both JV games where the visiting team had a player try to enter the game before a official motioned them in. I just am curious to the full clarification on Visiting Player's T during Varsity Boys tonight. Thanks for quizing us & keeping us on our feet, not to mention getting us to chuckle too, especially w/ the checking the air pressure in the ball thingy. Home Boys Assist. (C) Coach that almost got seatbelted, can be a little hot headed, but I know the ins and out of him & the head coach, as I was the Boys Manager my senior year (opted out of playing varsity my SR. yr. due to a XC injury {qualified for state} & wanted to try to make state track, which I did in the 3200m).... They had to run several extra miles because of me. If anyone couldn't beat my mile time, they had to run it again. They placed 4th at state that year. The assist. coach (JV) was assist. then too. Just to let you know my hubby quizzes me daily, as I hope to be a official next season (not him, me).

I think a good pre-game conference with players and coaches would be helpful. Is there such a thing?

No such thing. My pre game is literally 10-15 seconds. The only exception is when I ask my partner if he has anything to add, and he gives the spiel about speaking captains, out of bounds, handchecks, etc.

I hate it when that happens.

McBilly has a good point here. Often, especially if there's significant backcourt pressure and an impending held ball situation, the new lead -- not actually real close to the on-ball action, has a better awareness of the coach's request and can assess player control from a distance. Isn't it correct that sometimes it's a "line-of-sight" issue in which the other guy actually has a better vantage point? His head doesn't have to do the periscope thing to verify the necessary elements.

We hope you are one of us next year too. We need all of the help we can get get (), and us getting people that are obviously dedicated to the sport helps us even more.

Have a great Christmas!

Argh, the answer to that question is always, "No." Or, if I'm feeling verbose, "Nope."

For girls games, I sometimes remind them: "Nothing above the rim."

Yeah, me too. What a waste of time. I've never seen a partner who asked for "speaking captains" use that information for anything. Why bother? Heck, I don't even know anybody who notifies the captains that we're about to begin. And we're required to do that.

I ask, and I have gone to the captains during the game.

I'll go to any of the captains, cocaptains, tricaptains, or quadcaptains, if I need help with something. I'll answer politely asked questions from anybody, even the twelfth kid on the end of the bench.

[Adam]

I can usually pick out the leaders on a team and go to them. Sometimes they're the captains, and sometimes they're not.

Someday, when I advance far enough to remember the numbers of the captains after the meeting is over, I'll think about asking the question.

[BillyMac]

They had two speaking captains, but one couldn't see me, and the other couldn't hear me. Stoopid monkeys.

Me too, and I circle their numbers in both books right after the meeting. That's part of my 10-15 second meeting, BTW.

Or "Don;t miss any shots!"

I do.

I also ask both of my partners at the end of the 1st quarter, "Who are the speaking captains?"

And I have no problem going to the captain and saying, "You need to talk to #23 before he costs your team a couple of FTs and the ball."
