Watching a GV game last night. A1 drilling along the sideline opposite bench in her front court in 2nd half. She dribbles off her foot OOB. Center whistles and points, A1 turns and faces center, flips two birds and yells "**** you!". Gym goes dead silent and an eternity passes before the C whistles her for a T.
After they sit her down the C goes to the admin and after a discussion has a fan in the student section removed. It turns out she had just broken up w her BF and he made some disparaging remarks when she dribbled off her foot and she let him have it. He happened to be sitting directly behind the C. |

Cell Phone??
Boys Jr High season just started. Both teams are playing their second game of the year. Both teams are BAD, and it's the B team game. One coach thinks the league has a 30 point mercy rule, while the other thinks it's a 20 point lead in the 4th that will start the running clock. One coach says he'll make a phone call to find out exactly how the league wants it administered.
Three minutes into the game I'm trail as one team is inbounding the ball on the sideline by the visiting teams bench. The visiting coach rushes up to me with a cell phone in hand and states "I've got the guy in charge of the league on the phone and he'll tell you what the rule is". He extends his arm to give me the phone, expecting me to take it and engage the caller in conversation. ![]() I was shocked and so it took me a second to blurt out "coach, I'll take your word for it" before jogging down the floor.

This past Sunday, CYO JV (Grades 4-6) Girls.
Official calls a 5 second throw-in violation on the home team and explains what happened to the girls. He then gives the ball back to the home team for another throw-in. ![]() ![]() ![]()

But It's February ...
Sounds like our Catholic middle school "B" division. Also sounds like an interpretation we would make very early in the season.

FWIW, This past week was week #8 out of 10.
And while our CYO JV rules stress an emphasis on its instructional nature, my own take is that to give the ball to the offense again in this situation when there is no rule basis (I know some leagues/sports may give a mulligan in this age group & situation, but our league does not) goes against the philosophy of teaching why this is a violation, but also unjustly penalizes the defense for their good defense and their knowledge of the rule that says they should have the ensuing throw-in as the offensive team.
