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.

I'll call a few every year, but I'd be concerned if one of the comments I received was that I was on top of the three second calls.

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."

Thanks For The Help ...

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.

1) Team control foul,
2) Double foul, or
3) Time out (as requested by the coach)
