A couple more trips down the court, and one of my partners makes the same call on Team A from the lead. Not to be outdone, B1 plants both of his feet OOB as I am the lead. Wanting to call it the same at both ends, a third violation was called. I have called this 5-6 times a season. I have never seen it called twice in a game, let alone 3 times.

The good news is that the halftime talks by their coaches seemed to have cured the problem.

I called a 3 second violation tonight. Oh, and the final of my GV game was 71-5.

I only posted the 3 second violation because I mentioned in an earlier thread how I get about one a month and now I've called 2 in 2 games.

It actually was quite easy -- the winning team's center (face it, a team down by 70 could probably sit in the lane and rub two sticks together and start a fire and I'd probably notice my shoe was untied) got the ball in the lane and passed it out and never left. Her coach was telling her to get out of the lane. I wait a few more beats and then finally called it.

Of course that prompted the crowd to yell for it on every subsequent possession, all of which had balls bouncing off the rim or the like. Hey, they needed something to cheer for.
