I don't know that calling a lot of 3 seconds or lane violations is necessarily impressive.

Maybe he hadn't called one in February. I know I'm good for about one a month.

Kudos to those working, but as an evaluator, 3 seconds is barely on my radar. Proper game management would be first, and would include talking players out of such violations....unless they are chronic.

I haven't called Three Seconds in 45 years and I started officiating in 1971.

OK, I'll bite. You haven't called a three seconds violation ever or is this a joke that I'm missing?

Yep, I am also leary of officials who brag about not having had to give a T to a coach in blank number of years.

Let's just say that if it's something you aggressively look for you're not going to be seen as a top official by anyone that matters. Or as someone once said, "If three seconds is your best call, you're in trouble."

Yesterday's prep school game. Post player has the ball in the lane for a few seconds after a couple of pump fakes. He passes the ball out to a guard on the wing, and he stays in the lane. Guard receiving the pass yells to his teammate, the post player, to get out of the lane. Post player doesn't follow the guard's instructions.

I sounded my whistle. Anybody want to guess why I sounded my whistle? I'll give you three guesses.

Thank you Rich. The check is in the mail.

Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.: You shouldn't be bragging about how you can't count up to three. It must have made it really difficult to get an engineering degree.
