So... that wouldn't be a cool thing to do in the first half, but perfectly acceptable at the end of a game?

I hate that way of thinking.

This ticked me off when it was posted the first time way back in the day. I think it grinds me even more today. I just cannot fathom anyone doing this.

I know you said you were quiet and out of the locker room in a hurry. Did he say anything?

He went into the shower and I took the opportunity to quickly dress and walk out.

I am sure that was telling to him even if he was not aware of how bad his call was.

Peace

That's too bad, Rich. Sorry that a fellow official had to deal with something/someone like this...hopefully you shook the dust off your shoes and (other than it popping up on the forum every now and then) moved on without ever looking back.

It's hard to do, but that guy is really not worth your time or effort.

If I were in Rich's shoes I would love everytime this video pops up. It doesn't show how he messed up but instead shows how he handled a bad situation.

This video does nothing but shine Rich in a good light. yes, the situation sucks. But it does NOT reflect at all on Rich.

Absolutely!

Just for fun... what if "that guy" had done the same thing but been correct on the rule etc?

This is not a rule issue, this at best would be a mechanics and judgment issue. The new lead should not be making judgments on when the ball is at the disposal of a player after a made basket. He better be looking at players coming up the court and paying more attention to that. Then he is totally wrong to even be counting during that situation mechanically. So he is wrong in both ways. I would not want to be "that guy" in the video at all.

Peace

Why would new L be watching and counting the 5 second count? Who's watching the other 9 players while this is going on?

That being said, there's some situations where you have to leave and die with what your partner calls or doesn't call.

Hmmmmmm...don't think I said anything about it reflecting on Rich or that Rich messed anything up. Simply commiserating with a fellow official who got crapped on by his partner
