Gladly. Nothing wrong with OT in my book.

I agree. I may be crazy but I like OT games.

Not crazy at all. An OT game is a better challenge than a blow-out. The only reason some complain about them, from my take, is that they take longer.

I hate blowouts, especially late in the week. My mind sometimes starts to wander and I am sure not having any fun.

Had one game this year end on a 55-footer to win at the buzzer. I will guarantee you my attention didn't wane that day.

I only hate when the prelim game goes OT or long.

That's really the only complaint I ever really hear about OT; from the officials working the next game. It's the same as when the first game has 60 fouls.

That's just as bad. It's especially bad when we watch the 3rd quarter of the JV game and half of the fouls called were ones that shouldn't have been called.

And then the JV officials come in the locker room and complain how "bad" the teams were fouling each other.

Yeah well that's all I have so as I tell the varsity officials waiting..."sorry".

I had a girls sophmore game last week at a gym where I definately have more OTs than anywhere else combined. I tell my partner this before the tip. Visitors have the ball inbounding under there own basket coming out of a time out. I say to my partner, "bet they dump it right over their line up to the big girl for an easy two." Sure enough. Short pass to the big girl who swishes to tie and send it to OT. I said to my partner, "I called that one."Fun game to officiate though.
