OK, we've discussed embarassing moments and quick witted come-backs, how about big mistakes we can all learn from (moral stories). I'll stick my neck out and be first.
Girls HS State Semi-finals . One team wearing red and white. One team wearing white and red. Both teams wearing even numbers. Early in the fourth quarter, Team B is in a half court trap. A2 (#12 Red) comes to help A1 who has dribbled into a trap. She sets an illegal screen on B1 (#12 White), who subsquently falls into, and displaces the dribbler A1. I, thankfully, see the illegal screen, blow, and go to the table across the floor (college size). I report the foul ~"Red, One, Two, Block, One & One" ~ give the proper signals and turn back to the floor. To my dismay, I see my partner has both teams on the wrong side of the floor, with the dribbler, A1, lined up to shoot the 1&1. (Insert "red faced" icon) I had to go to my partner, explain what I called and move to the other side of the floor and put B1 (# 12 White) who everyone thought was the offending player, on the line for the 1&1. At that point it seemed the entire attendence of the Fieldhouse were fans of the Red team. Moral: COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE! Make SURE your partner knows what you called BEFORE you leave the spot of the foul. Blackhawk |

I've already posted about this, so I won't rehash the story, but the moral of my season (along with about 6 Big East officials) this year is "Count the players!"

I never heard of that odd/even thing. I graduated HS in (gulp) '84 and I was #31 at home and on the road. This is the first time I've even heard about it. Wierd

Interesting. I played in the early 80's -- same light and dark (though we occaisonally got grief b/c our light jerseys were light blue), but we wore the same numbers home and away (except for some of the JV players, as we used old V sets, and some of the shirts were missing . . . ) I wonder if it was a regional thing.

The school I coach at has that numbering system also, Even at home and odd on the road. The only reason I can think of it would be to avoid teams having similar colors and the same numbers.
