Late call?

[Rita C]

Mens rec ball.

Last night I was lead. Player goes up in the post and is fouled coming down after the shot.

I go to report, partner goes to lead. Player complains that the whistle was late.

Partner says, "Of course it was! We don't blow the whistle until after it happens!"

Better too late than too early, you can't take it back. If a player or coach complains that the whistle was late, it's the same as them saying "Good call."
If they thought the call was wrong, they would say that, not "Late whistle."

Yes, that is a good one! Think I wore out, "late & right beats quick & wrong."
It can also be used when the parents start with, "somebodys gonna get hurt!!"

Had a similar situation last night in a B MS Play-off game. I am trail with A1 (home) driving from my primary into the lane. I call a late blocking foul on B1 at the same time my partner calls a different foul on B2. A1 makes basket after both fouls driving the lane.

Partner and I get together briefly to confer on what we both had. I reported my foul to the table on B1, no basket, 2 shots (double bonus). Home crowd and coach wanted the basket. But I knew that he was still dribbling when the block happened.

One of those situations that you don't have every day, but glad to know that we both handled it appropriately and quickly.

So you guys convened to determine which foul happened first and ignored the other because it wasn't flagrant or intentional. Is that what you're saying?

Question, A1 made a basket, so I'm wondering how much of an advantage was really gained by B1's block?

What difference would it make if A1 made the basket if A1 was fouled? It would just be a foul in the act of shooting.

I'm not sure what you're you're trying to get at here, Snaqs.
