Well, he will be pretty busy covering all of those games.

3 seconds.

I am glad to see a group of referees stand up for themselves.

Reading the articles there is a reference to the fact that most assignments are 2 games and some mileage, totaling ~80 for the average set of games. $80 and zero mileage is what TN pays.

TN has the same problem as LA "400 principles voted not to approve the agreed to raise". One side of the equation is represented and has input the other side has none. TN officials were promised a $5 per game raise for 2010/2011 the school administration controlled "Board of Control" revoked the raise during the summer "dead period" when no one was watching.

I am cheering for the officials.

He won't have all those games. I got some of them.

Wow, I'd have been tempted to respond, "Knowing the game and knowing the rules are two different things, coach."

I was, but I really like working his DPS games. I just said email me & I'll send you a rulebook.

They see alike
 

Just let the varsity coaches call the jv games and then the jv coaches call the varsity. That way they can call it like all coaches want it..from the standpoint of playing or coaching for x number years...they know the game.

Will they administer FTs & throw-ins from their benchside perches?:D

I wonder if Louisiana still uses 15-year-old 3-person mechanics where the center is always opposite the table. They were as of a couple of years ago and quite frankly that's all I needed to know about the state of basketball officiating in Louisiana.

A lot of us wear belts.

"That kid has four fouls. Let's make sure the last one is a real one."

Three seconds with no team control (rebound).

Backcourt violations from inbounds plays (most likely tipped in the frontcourt).

Free throws on team control fouls. ("It wasn't the dribbler/shooter.")

High dribble violations.

re:
 

We are in year two of allowing Center to be opposite the table (flex). I guess now we can see the light up ahead leading us out of the dark ages, but there is still more ground to cover. :(

Reaching in.

And the last 10 seconds will be a free for all so the kids decide the game.

So, I was wrong for calling an intentional on a player from the team trailing by 5 points with 2 seconds left last night?

Yep, and a 13 year coach would have known that.
