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! |

Forgot the "T"
Oh..I forgot...early 4th quarter visiting team applying heavy pressure and fouls ball handler. I call a foul and one of the visiting players on my way to the table calls me a "homo"...so whack..."T". Coach asks why...and I told him what he called me.

Homogenized ???
Don't we have a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in officiating?

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. |

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. |

tonight's game
A lot different game today 3:45pm Girls Varsity. Score is 33 to 1 at the end of the first quarter. After 35 point lead, had a running clock last quarter. Score ends up 66 - 13. The one team could barely dribble and didn't even look to shoot, while the other one shot at least 65 percent from the 3pt line.
