I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. I was laughing out loud. Not sure if anyone's ever posted this, so I will here:

New York High School Basketball Coaches Chew The Ref's Ass - YouTube

[just another ref]

"I didn't even curse!"

[Rich]

My fantasy answer to one of the lines:

"It's the first time in 22 years of coaching...."

"No it isn't."

I whacked a coach during a Christmas tournament two years ago and he told me, "That's only my third technical in 14 years." When I got together with a group of officials at the watering hole afterwards, there were 6 technicals in the last 5 years *at my table*.

So anytime a coach uses a line like that, I assume they're lying or incredibly forgetful.

"Whaaaaat?"

I guess when it comes to coaches, EVERYONE is That Guy.

One season I gave a notoriously a-hole coach a T in the first 4 minutes of the first game of the season. I didn't have him again for another 7-8 weeks. He runs into me in the hallway before the game and says "that's the only T I have had all season" and to which I responded (in my early years before I had a filter) "I doubt that".

Needless to say, that evening he became the only coach I ever tossed by giving back-to-back T's. And it occurred while his team was up by 40 points in the 3rd quarter during a dead ball in which his team was about to shoot 2 free throws following an intentional foul by the opposing team.

Ha Ha ha !! Excellent Rich, thanks for the Christmas present!

Great stuff! My thoughts...

0:23 "But even if you're bobbling or moving with the ball, that's a travel! .... You have to get possession first? I've never heard that."

Really? The first thing we were taught in ref school was the concept of CONTROL, and how so many things are affected by it.

1:09 Did the official have his hands up for a whack?

1:44 "There's a flow to this game!"

Not if the rules are broken.

2:19 If that coach got a T earlier, why is he still on his feet? Different rules in New York, I assume.

And one for the coach...

0:15 "If the kid's standing in the paint, you can't say 'you gotta (get out)' ... that's a three-second call."

If that's what happened, that's a legitimate beef, IMO.

Well, that's what we're taught to do where I live (in regards to 3 seconds). Advise, advise, advise, advise, then penalize.

I prefer, "Keep moving, keep moving" said in that player's direction. That doesn't imply that someone's in there too long at the moment and could be just vague enough to be a banana for the HM.

I had a 3-second violation in my first game and I don't think I've had one in a game since. I've had plenty of people yell it, usually when the ball is bouncing on the rim after a shot attempt.

Least favorite call one keep moving and after that blow the whistle.

Murphy's law, whenever I'm watching for 3 seconds, I miss something.

Continuing warnings are dead wrong.
