Sure it would have.
So would having a 15 year old player who knows what she is doing. So would having a Coach who tells his/her players what to do. Probably having a partner who shows up would have helped too because then jtheump wouldn't have to worry about taking care of everything himself. But what the heck...let's not worry about any of that. Let's just jump on jtheump because...well, just because we can. |

Many people come to these forums for all kinds of reasons. I don't see the comment as "jumping on" the poster. It provides information, guidance, rules knowledge, etc. to everyone else who reads this forum. I thought this was a good point...and I found it interesting how other officials handle this.
Some feel this is a courtesy, while some say it is both a rule and a mechanic. These are important things for all officials to know. And it contributes to the value of the forum for everyone. |

Thanks for the responses and the casebook reference... turns out I was looking at the wrong sections of the casebook (Rule 10 instead of Rule 4).
RE: Telling the player that she needed to stay on the spot... believe me, that thought occurred to me immediately after the smoke cleared. And I'm going to start doing that from now on. Other context: Before the game, the Team A head coach offered to grab a whistle and act as the second official. "Coach, I appreciate the offer, but I can't let you do that for several reasons." I found out after the game that the Team A head coach is A15's father. Should've been an interesting ride home, to say the least. I can only hope it was a productive "there are consequences to unsporting behavior" type conversation rather than an "officials suck" conversation. This was the 5th of 6 games I worked solo that day. The 6th game was worse in some respects... 1 unsporting player T, 1 unsporting coach T, and a "Worst Official in the World" award handed out after the game by a fan standing at the exit of the gym. |

It perhaps could have been worded a little nicer, but I don't think there was any ill intent or malice meant by the post.

Hmmm...ok. Maybe I misread intent. Sure seemed to me like it was dumping on someone who was asking for constructive feedback.

Endline, absolutely. Sideline? I'll point, of course, but I don't see the point of yelling "designated" there. I've never seen anyone run a sideline.

Hey folks ... this is the internet. You can't read tone from someone else's post. I don't care how smart your think you are or how good an official you are... you just can't. How smart is it to read a post, make a conscious decision to take that post in the most negative way possible, and then rip the poster for being negative... it was YOU that brought in the negativity. If there are multiple ways to read someone's "tone" - choose the nicest one.

After the game I looked up the administration process & when it used the word "shall" instead of "may" I realized that I made the mistake & have been designating every spot from that day forward. BTW, you dont have to yell it.
