I wouldn't kick yourself too hard for this. And frankly, if the coach hadn't dropped it at that point, I wouldn't have given her much more rope in a solo game.

I did that once when I was a rookie. Yea it bothered me but I realized that it was mistake I couldn't correct BUT it was one I could learn from. It caused me to be very sure of which team had possession on a TO and I never made the mistake again. I have, OTOH, had to correct my partner a time or two in a game.

He gave it to the right team, he only messed up on the throw-in spot.

Whoops - missed that the first time.

I could see this happening while working a freshman game solo.

Fortunately she did drop it...both were pretty well behaved most of the game.

I lied: There are two positives about WI. You cannot start any game under the WIAA umbrella with fewer than 2 officials. This game wouldn't have started here until a second official arrived or was found.

I can only dream, Rich.

I am really starting to loathe working solo...especially since it seems to be rather common for sub-varsity ball here. I'd rather work a football game with two officials I think. We don't even get paid extra.

I think that's why the rule is in place -- schools would start thinking about saving $40 here and there and get much more lax in their assigning practices. Schools assign all subvarsity games here, so the rule forces them to hire 2 officials for every FR, SO, JV, etc. game.

That makes perfect sense. We just have a lot of flakes for partners here.

All of our games are assigned by the association assigner, and I have yet to work a hs game solo.
