Most OTs ever been through?
 

What's the most OTs you've ever been through?

Last night, Boys' V we had 2 OT.

What types of rules changes would you like see done for OT/Multiple OTs?

1. 2
2. None

At Avoiding Overtimes ...
 

Ask Mark Padgett. He's what you call an expert.

1. 3
2. none

1. 4
2. None

I've already had 1 OT, 2 OTs, and 3 OTs this season.

Mark Padgett's Worst Nightmare ...
 

BktBallRef: I suggest that you quickly delete your post before Mark Padgett sees it. He will have a royal cow.

3, none.

I've only had games with one overtime. All of them were extensions of the 4th quarter. :cool: I know, I'm being an a$$, don't hold it against me. I like OT's. They are usually exciting and I feel like I got my money's worth in this "officiating world" that usually leaves us wondering if the money was worth it! Sorry Mark. :o

Two (just Tues night) and similar to the others, I like the rules just the way they are.

3 OT's
 

3 OT's, 112-108, 3 person boys varsity...took 3.75 hours on a friday night. No changes...was an exciting game and although the fee was low ($55), was a memorable experience. Players began fouling out...

3 OT periods.

4 in football before the lights got shut off due to a city ordinance.

2. One visitor down by 3 with less than 3 secs. shoots what he thought was a 2 and make it, but toes hit the line...lost by 1 in Double OT.

No changes. But maybe is I had a Quad OT, I might want to think about the first to a 4 point lead....

What then?

1.2
2.None

Three overtimes has been my longest. It was the first game of a jv/varsity boys doubleheader. Of course as luck would have it the varsity game that followed went into one overtime period. Long night but it was all good basketball.

Maybe He'll Listen To You ???
 

I've been telling Mark Padgett that for years. He won't listen to me.

OTs don't bother me at all
 

How many Off Topics have I been through? You mean on this board? Oh, hundreds at least.

I had a 7-overtime league varsity boys championship game...many years ago. Enjoyed the hell out of it.

1. 3 OTs
2. No changes

I'll Take A Big Slice Of That ...
 

Hey Mark Padgett? What do you think about Jurassic Referee's post?

Game suspended for the day. They played on a Tuesday evening a few weeks later. They brought out a whole new crew for the game, paid a full game fee and they only played three downs before the game ended. Nice scam!

Wow. With having to get a ladder to get the ball out of the peach basket after every score, I bet that took forever!!!!! http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...ages/santa.gif

That would be the norm here as well. Even with the same crew, another full game fee.

I gotta get my football license. Easy money! :D

No matter the sport, that rule exists for any NCHSAA game. Suspend the game for whatever reason and the crew that returns to complete the game gets a full game fee.

How many calories burned? How many miles ran? How many bottles of water emptied?

Well then, I gotta move to North Carolina! :D It may (probably is) be the same in my State. I've just never had that situation.

21 innings.

Mark Padgett doesn't like overtime? Thanks for clearing it up with the 4th stupid off topic joke you have made in this discussion. I'm sure no one got it after the first three you made over a two hour period.

4OT in basketball, 3 OT in football, and 17 innings in baseball.

Just went OT on Tuesday.

Naw, the final score was 6-4.

Piss off, dickhead.

Wow! I don't think that MLB even has that a game that long.

So if this was a 7-inning game, then the game was tripled in length.

That'd be like a basketball game going to 16 overtimes! :eek:

4 OT's. No rule changes. Why fix something that isn't broken?

FIBA uses the AP arrow to start any and all OT periods and I don't even like that.

Question 1: 7
Question 2: No rule change, just a mechanic change. No long switches

It's Not Really His Fault, I Blame The Meds ...
 

Actually, it's not a joke. Maybe it's become a joke, but it's really not. You've only been posting on the Forum for a few years, so you don't know the whole story. It is my contention that Mark Padgett, like any other red-blooded, God-fearing, basketball official, actually loves the excitement of working an overtime game. That his anti-overtime posturing is actually a ruse. Why? I don't know. Only he knows. It is also my contention, that he has been putting forward this Forum persona for so long, that he may actually have started believing it himself. Since he'll never give it up voluntarily, I am forced to constantly hound him about this ruse, hoping to break him down. I won't stop this campaign until I take my last Forum breath, or Mark Padgett takes his last Forum breath, whichever comes first.

Would anyone like to see the players be allowed a 6th foul should the game go into overtime? Teams get an extra timeout already...

Some of these games that go so long end up being decided by reserves and reserves of reserves.

Some may say, not our problem. Just throwing it out there.

Shut Up Really Means Happy Holidays ...
 

According to the Google Jurassic Referee-English translator, this actually means "Merry Christmas". Really. You can look it up.

Put him on your ignore list then. :cool: :rolleyes:

Uh, no. I like the excitement of going home on time.

3 to make 2 would accomplish the same thing.:rolleyes:

Back in VT, I was filling in for a sick varsity official in the 2nd half of that game. A last second outside shot, not close to the 3 point line, tied the score and sent it into OT. I don't mind them once in awhile. Probably get one per season. And I have already had my quota this year.

Lies, Damned Lies, And ..., Nevermind ...
 

See what I mean. This is what I have to put up with. This has been going on for several years now.

Get a room.

Nope, the literal meaning is "piss off, dickhead". 24/7/365, counting Christmas.

The kinder, gentler JR doesn't work on holidays.

Yes, I know the story. It would be nice if people wouldn't make these jokes every time the word overtime comes up and would just discuss basketball officiating. It isn't like this is some new joke you just came up with, it has been said literally thousands of times. Ok, you want to say it once more...but four times in a row? That is over the top.

I'm not doing that. Then I never get to see what he has to say.

At least I don't need to make myself feel cool though cyber bullying.

Really?

That wasn't cyber bullying. That was a plea on behalf of all of us that we would appreciate it if you would piss off. But piss off in a kinder, gentler way if it's not too much trouble.

Please.

Now shoo, shoo......


Shoo!

Not sure JR does anything to "make himself feel cool." He's kinda like our grouchy old grandfather. It's okay when he yells at us, and it's actually kinda fun when he yells at you. (not just you, but, in this particular case, you)

I really don't mean it when I yell at you guys. Guys like Cobra? I honestly hope they have a great Christmas....somewhere else. :D

Boring ...
 

A worthy goal. I really used to think that myself. But then I would miss out on a lot of fun. Seriously, if you want basketball officiating discussion, and only basketball officiating discussion, mosey on over to the NFHS forum. They take this officiating stuff a lot more seriously than most of us do. While your over there, say hello to my twin brother, Billy Mac (with a space).

As Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.'s good friend, Senator Harry S. Truman, used to say, "If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen".

Sounds like you might want to start your own forum, where you can dictate what and how everyone else posts.

Wonder why he has that user name....

How Did That Quarter Get In Your Ear ???
 

No. More like the crazy uncle, you all know, the guy that everyone thinks is kind of creepy, but we can't quite put our finger on it. We see him a few times a year, on major holidays, and then we try to remember not to invite him next year, but we always forget, and he get invited back.

Crazy? Creepy??

Bite your tongue, infidel.

I prefer to simply post whatever I feel like posting.

Free speech? :eek:

Naw, that'll never catch on.....:)

Breaking news from 1789:
It's catching on.

1. Three (twice)
2. Absolutely nothing.

Peace

+1

Quality over quantity. Aesop.

1 in FB going back to '75
2 in BB going back to '73

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:

NBA.com - NBA Rules History

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.

T

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'....

He also moved into the area of trying to tell everyone else what to post and not post.

I don't know - I just think he was expressing some valid frustrations about certain poster's (arguably) neither funny nor on-topic posts. I happen to share his opinion about those posters, but I would never complain out loud because of exactly what happened in this thread. I don't want to argue about what people should or shouldn't post - that's futile. There are moderators for that. But expressing some frustration over some of the Billy Mac and Padgett posts is valid, in my opinion. If people can pile on chseagle, why not the others? Sure we can put people on ignore. But we also should be able to express some frustration, as other people with higher post counts do all the time.

I don't mind BillyMac and Padgett, though. They actually post about officiating from time to time.

I'm serious on the court. The day this place becomes "serious" all the time is the day I probably quit coming here.

Some people's posts bug me more than other's. I'm sure everyone has their own tolerance level. And I agree that there is a place for the friendly banter and funny commentary. I just think it's fair for someone to post their opinion about it and not have to be told to leave if they do. It's a public forum and I think the moderators do a fine job of keeping this place a great place to get officiating information. Cobra can't dictate what people post any more than you or I could. My only point was that there was a quite a bit of irony in the way many people responded to what he said.

Double ~Sigh~
 

Another Portland area bleeding heart liberal. Political correctness run amok.

Sad Cameron, truly sad.

Pick On Someone Your Own Size ...
 

Hey? My posts off topic posts deserve criticism. Lots of criticism. Please leave Mark Padgett, and chseagle out of this discussion. Mark Padgett is the comedy king of the Forum. chseagle is ... uh .. let's see ... chseagle.

Couldn't agree more
 

Happy Holidays Boys !!!!!!

Rich - you are right on. Have had some great dialogue with Billy Mac concerning IAABO up in Connecticut.

If I ever have to be completely serious on this site then I am gone.

BTW - 5 overtimes in a D II game last year.

Free throws attempted total = 93

Fouls combined 68

Coaches were quiet as church mice in the OT's !!!!!!!!!

They probably had no voices left and were looking for oxygen masks.

Now I know you have no clue what you're talking about. The day I get called a bleeding heart liberal and it is anywhere near correct is the day hell froze over.

I just believe in being respectful to others....some clearly don't.

I Hope Jurassic Referee Is Wearing His Long Underwear ...
 

A Groovy Republican ???
 

Who says that Pacific Northwest, tree-hugging, pot smoking, hippies, can't be conservatives?

chseagle,

I had two OT's the other night...oh yeah, you and your wife were at the table.

Good job...

...now, what did you think of my partner's foul call with .3 seconds left and the score tied at the end of regulation? You remember, double bonus, foul at the "top of the key"? (The kid missed both FT's and we went to 1st OT)

(Before you answer, you won't hurt his feelings...he is a good friend of mine and a great official)

I'd have to watch a replay to appropriately comment on that foul.

Concerning the shot clock resets with the kick balls, I didn't see the kick ball signal clearly.

Thankfully with patience I'm getting the V Timer to be more attentive as she was mentioning to do shot clock reset as was signaled to do so.

With time we're working more cooperatively especially with helping one another on seeing things.

Dad says that so far this year, your crew was the best we had for officiating concerning calling of fouls & violations.
