fess up

[stiffler3492]

Last night, boy's sophomore blowout, neither coach said a word...of course I go and screw something up!

A1 makes a basket, and Coach A wants a timeout, but B1 already had the ball ready to inbound. Of course I blow my whistle without being patient. I say my fault, but Coach A still wants the timeout anyway.

Silly me.

Depending on the timeframe, I would likely still grant the timeout if the thrower-in had just corralled the ball.

It was close, that's for sure. Next time that happens and it's that close, I'll probably give him the benefit of the doubt.

This was a good no-call, but I almost wished I had.

Just banged H team dribbler for a PC foul, using his arm to contact and push off the defender, right in front of H's bench. I had "the slot", and it was an easy call. Coach remarks, "That was a good call, now just make sure you call it on the other end."
Sure enough, I'm new T on the very next play going the other way. Just before I cross the division line, with the dribbler about 12 feet in front of me right in front of the V bench, I note what might have been contact by the dribbler in the exact same fashion as just previously on the other end. This time, however, I didn't have "the slot"--all I had is the back of the dribbler. Though working to get the slot, from that position I saw nothing. If there was something, a strong C didn't catch it. I "think" I knew what "might" have happened, but wasn't going to guess.
H coach just about had a conniption (sp?) fit.
Oh well.

What do you mean "anyway?". Once you blew, you have to give it to him.

I know that. Here's how the conversation went:

Coach A: Timeout

Me: *Whistle* "Oops my fault, B already had the ball"

Coach A: Well, can I have it now anyway?

Me: You sure can coach.

So he got it before me having to explain a little known rule.

Snaqs,

Gotta give you props. Thanks for asking this. It made me dig into the book (NFHS 10-3-6h, specifically), and check with an interpreter. Indeed, removing of the shirt (or shorts) is a technical foul. Merely untucking it is not a T; it's just grounds for removal (and that kid was going out anyway).

Does this mean I have to fess up to something else?
