As a predominantly VG official, it's good to get an exciting, well-played game. I've got one of our better local team's scheduled this week (weather permitting).
Too often I get the haves vs the have nots. Now, when I get the have nots vs the never hads........ARGH!

I've wondered about only doing boy's games as well but we've had a good streak of 'decent' girls games as well.
We had a great game last night as well. Cross-town rivalry game with a packed house. Gotta love it!! |

The paper reported this as a 3-point game, but that's not how it finished. I know, I was there.
I went over to talk to the scorer/timer on the final timeout and there was no discrepancy between the book and the scoreboard -- at least as they knew it then. If it was a 3-point game, the last possession would've meant something. As it was, the home player jacked up a 3 from the corner and the home coach was already yelling for a timeout while the ball was in the air -- except that the shot missed and the V player rebounded it and ran out the remaining 2 seconds. Definitely a 5 point game. Wonder how it ended up 3 in the paper (with matching boxscore). |

Oh, forgot the best part.
I had called a technical on the home coach over Christmas. One of only 2 this season (in 34-or-so games). He had it coming, trust me. When I went for the meet-and-greet with about 1:00 left on the clock, he had a somewhat awkward smile on his face and he said, "No quick T's tonight, right?" He then told me it was his 3rd in 14 years. I'd like to know the truth -- there are technicals I've forgotten, I'm sure. I knew he'd behave and he did. Besides, the game was so good and so close throughout, the coaches needed to spend their time and energy coaching. |

The Whole Truth, And Nothing But The Truth ...
Quote:
I'm on my board's training committee. During one of our sessions, there were, understandably, a lot of questions about technical fouls being charged to coaches. When it came to ejections, the chair of our committee told the newbies that the ejection of a coach is a very rare event. To demonstrate, he asked the members of our committee, there were about eight of us there that night, "Who has ejected a coach". I raised my hand, the only one to do so in our little group. The chair asked me, "Who?". I responded by simply pointing and said, "That coach". There were two former varsity coaches in our training group. The coach responded, "And now that I know the rules, I deserved it".

With my secondary association, it has been close to the opposite. Had 5 GV tournament games in late December. And I think all but 5 games with them have been on the girls side. Most seasons, it has been more of an even mixture.

Interesting part(s) of the situation: His wife was keeping the clock and when I gave him his minute to depart the gym, his wife had to convince him to go. After he departed, his team rallied from a fifteen point deficit to win.

I was pleased when the league supported me and suspended him for the next game.

I've only had one game where the coach got booted. I gave him the first T. This guy thought he was that Duke coach working with 7th grade YMCA kids; apparently a former semi-pro player. This was my second game with him, and I'd been warned about him before my first game. A quick talk worked the first game; not the 2nd. His kids won all their games by 30-40 points, and he was still screaming for every call.
A complete a$$ hat, and he didn't coach any more games for the YMCA after that one.

My guy was just downright obnoxious over three periods. He just wore me down, and I just ran out of patience. Two T's, both from me. "Enjoy sitting on the cold bus, Coach." (I just thought that part, I didn't actually say it, although I wanted to.)

I hope that he realizes that's he's the only personal responsible for how quick the "T" will be. All Rich is doing is reacting.
