But you already knew that, right?

I think they call that ball watching Sadly that is fairly common at the lower levels with rookie officials. I tell younger officials during the pre-game that if they call something in my area typically that means they aren't taking care of their area.

I actually did it twice last week. I had just left my sons wrestling tournament and he was probably wrestling at the same time I was officiating. So needless to say my mind was were it shouldn't have been. I even had my hand up and counting as the lead while administering a foul shot lol.
I had to explain to my partner so he didn't think I was a total tool haha. This even happened one day after I did my first three man game and was complimented by a lot of people. Guess that was Gods way of keeping me humbled lol. But yeah your partner may not know better. If you are a crew and he (like a lot of ppl I work with) isn't studying he won't learn unless you let him know. |

I wouldn't say I "hate" this but it does really bother me: Partners who believe that the other nine players have to be behind the division line when we are shooting foul shots for a technical or intentional foul. I have had half a dozen partners either mention this supposed rule or enforce it already this season, including one who told a first year official that "You can't let the team with the bench in the backcourt talk to their coach in front of their bench because the team on the end where we're shooting can't cross half court to talk to their coach".

1 on 1 fast break - you beat the play down court and are in great position, offensive player makes the layup in close proximity to defender, but no contact.......Tweet! - your partner calls a foul on the play from 65+ feet away.....

Another thing that bugs me
How about the guy that wants to sound a whistle while adm a throw in, after every routine OOB play? I'm hightailin it to get in position as a L, with my back turned 3/4 away from inbounds spot and I hear a whistle. Gets my attention for sure. I've also had to pitch in and work the clock a time or two (now there's something I really hate--much rather be on the court) and when this guy hits his whistle like that while I'm trying to figure out how to get the team or ind fouls totals correct on board...that freaks me.

Because I ask fellow officials, when assigned with them the 1st time, "where are the other 9 player allowed to be when a TF is shot". ~30-35% of "long time" referees state, "behind the division line". We have ~300 members, I am assigned with the same partner on average less than twice per year. I have a lot of personal exposure to officials believing this myth.

Not in the last 50 years that I'm aware of. Before the 3-point arc came in, they had to be behind the free throw line extended.

Thanks JR, I was hoping there was a logical explanation instead of ignorance.

And I Bet That Mark Padgett Does The Same Thing ...
Not me. I take this opportunity to scan the crowd behind the endline for hot, single, moms.

I've been to two college games in the last three days and both had Ts. I'm guessing the one at the very beginning of the game was a book and tonight's was on our (home) coach. Both times all players were behind the division line. I esp. thought the Wed. game's crew would know the correct rule, cuz one of the Us does the local clinics before the season starts for the southern region guys.
