1. Three (twice)
2. Absolutely nothing.

Quality over quantity. Aesop.

Rule change: burgers and beer for everyone after the 3rd OT. Then we toss a coin.

Tastes Great, Less Filling ...
 

We actually cover a private school that provides us with an ice-filled cooler of beer, and soda, in the dressing room, after our games. It's always good to have a cold beer after a game, but to get one immediately afterward, it's like you died and went to officiating heaven.

We need more schools like this. It's like happy hour, but free. Nothing quite like a beer in the shower after a game.

1. 3 OTs in basketball, 6 OTs in soccer (prior to the state instituting the kicks from the mark tiebreaker following 2 OTs).

2. I would support the players receiving a sixth foul if the game were to reach 2 OTs. All individuals who were DQ'd for five fouls would be eligible to return and play. My reasoning is that 2 OT equates to a full extra quarter of playing time.

I remember this in the NBA......
 

How long ago did this one go away? Just curious.

1981-82:

It's a fascinating read, even if you're like me and haven't watched a full NBE game since the early 90s.

~Sigh~
 

This ties for the dumbest post ever made on the internet.

1. 3 (I think)
2. None.

MTD Sr. may have to go digging upstairs but I think back in the day the second OT was sudden death...I think. At least at some point, there was sudden death.

Helluva defensive game! :p

Jurassic Referee Cool ...
 

You don't post much here, so I don't know if you read a lot, but there have been several posts recently that have set the new standard.

If it was, yours just took its place. His actually has a fair amount of truth in it.

I don't ever remember that. But OT used to be 3 minutes. My senior year, we had one OT game and the OT was 3 minutes. That was the 1974-75 season.

What's ironic is that so many of you decided to condemn Cobra for doing exactly that. Just sayin'....
