Things I Learned Tonight

Nice. I can't say that I've heard #4 before. What were the circumstances of #2?

Long strides, player caught the ball at the top of the key on the run.

Got it. I had one a few years ago where the player thought she "only took two steps." She did, but she had a foot in the air when she caught the ball. That non-pivot foot came down (one), then the pivot foot went up and came down (two) before the ball was released.

He caught it just after alighting from his left, giving him quite a bit of legal distance. The other coach had questioned a non call earlier on a perfect jump stop setting up a last second three.

A Double Foul results in an AP throw in. Biggest problem was that I learned it from my partner.

Fotunately he was easily persuaded otherwise.

I had that same situation four or so years ago.

Loose ball. A-1 secures the ball, then bumps off B-2. Easy player control for me, but my partner had the foul on B-2. No biggie, double foul, A's ball. My partner went as far as putting his hands on my shoulders and looking me square in the eyes that we go to the arrow. I held firm, and my partner checked the rule book after the game.

If I had to do it again, I would have explained to Coach B what just happened. We moved along a bit too erratically, which can cause those around you to lose faith easily.

He would have been correct just a few short years ago.

Yep, probably 6 or 7 years ago. That's just last year in a dog's life.

My partner that night is a good ref, a friend and even older than me. I think he referred to it as a brain fart! we've all had 'em.
