So. . . how did YOUR night go?

Here's mine.

Double technical foul three and a half minutes into the game. Flagrant technical for a punch during a dead ball with 6:10 left in the game. Unsporting technical with 3:45 left in game after kid fouled out.

Only saving grace is that nobody came off the benches after the punch.

Happy holidays.

Last Night

So I transferred boards and now a new face for boys varsity game. Had a big time rivalry game last night. Could've used a 3rd official but my partner and I called a good game. Had a total from our crew of 7 charges. 1 on 1 in first minute of 2nd quarter.

So ball comes inbounds to visiting team in front of bench, heavy pressure by a home team guard. A big man sets an obvious illegal screen and the guard hits the deck. Gotta have a whistle and call offensive foul. Coach is livid...

He calls my assigner after the game saying I wasn't ready for that type of game, but I recall my call selection, no calls (let them block shots), etc...I was quite happy. Wish I had a game tape to see that play to confirm it was the right call.

Happy Holidays!

That is a lot of players fouling out. I guess each team had a chance to win, so there was no need to whip out the travesty card.

Call up the home coach and ask if you can get a copy. I do it fairly often and most coaches are very accommodating as long as you do as much as you can on your end (send a DVD and stamped/addressed envelope if it's too far to drive and pick up).

Coach was right...

Scrapper:

That sound like one of my nights in places that I should not have been in when I was in college, .

I hope that thinks get better.

I'm surprised you didn't toss him.

Scrappy, you make my night of braving Wally World and insane drivers sound sane!

I'm with Welpe, he's done in my game at this point. I'm pretty sure I'd be grilled by my assigner if I simply called a T on this without going flagrant.

Did the coach pull him?

Coach

The coach did not pull him...I think he still had issues about the offensive foul. I can see your perspective of running the kid, but they were down 10 and didn't want to create more pandemonium. He did not say it very loud, but audible enough for me to hear it. It was a packed house...so I'm quite sure no one else could've heard him.

General comment to coach then?

So how do you justify to the coach why a "t" was administered? Should there be no explanation for it? We are to communicate with coaches when they ask questions (he did ask me in a calm manner), I feel I can tell him the need for the technical foul.

Just my 2 cents.

Honestly, around here, i don't care if I'm the only one who heard it. If it was loud enough to get a T, it's loud enough to toss for that word. I understand your reluctance, but I would have felt none

billy was just being billy, something like this he should be told. The fact that he didn't pull his kid is concerning for me, to be frank.

Coach= "What did he say?"
Me= "Ask him."

My night went alright, thanks for asking!

Girls JV. Visitors dressed six players. Teams combined for probably 50 turnovers (at least 30 travels or illegal dribbles) and 40 fouls... and 37 points. It was 8-8 at the half, and, after a scoring orgy of unprecedented magnitude in the 4th quarter, the home team missed a wide-open three-footer with about two seconds left and wound up losing, 19-18.

Ahh, small-school basketball.

Many years ago I was coaching soph girls BB. After a particularly trying game, the V coach asked how it went. I said, "We were playing them even until they went on a a 4-2 run over the last 6 minutes." ugghhhh!!
