I won't reveal his identity unless he chooses to.

Here is the actual game if anyone wants to have something playing in the background while they sleep. OSAA.tv Video Portal

Or we could just watch the Boys 5A championship game that you worked after the snooze fest that was the girls game

Congrats BTW!

Imagine the excitement of being assigned to this game, showing up to officiate, and you have to endure THAT?.....yuck!

At least the crew didn't get paid by the whistle...

Anyone seen the film of Milan vs Muncie?

Even though White conceded the jump ball to begin the game, would anyone penalize Blue's jumper for catching the toss with one hand and throwing it to a teammate?

Announcer stated that Tyler Pendergast and Bill Draper were the officials, and that this would be the easiest game check that they ever received.

I saw that also. Talk about an omen of things to come. I guess I'm OK with passing on a whistle here. White conceded the tip and I have to think that threw the blue player off enough to cause the violation.

I had never officiated a game where at halftime, I didn't even grab a towel to wipe my forehead of sweat, until now!!!

I was one of the fortunate/unfortunate officials of this game that ended as the lowest scoring game in Oregon State Championship history. I was the lead official during the second quarter and didn't leave from there until approximately 6 seconds left in the quarter. The Springfield coach asked me at one point in time what I thought about it, in which I said "I just don't want to stiffen up just standing here".

Funny one about this is that my partner about 5 minutes into the second quarter asked the ball handler at the mid court area if she had dribbled yet or not because he wasn't quite sure after that amount of elapsed time.

One hour and two minute game and I think I blew my whistle a total of 11 times all game, just an approximate. The tournament director asked if we would like to donate our game check back or at least at a reduced rate, jokingly of course!

It was sad that stripes2255 ended up with this...he had an incredible tourney and could have easily been in the boys game with me or in place of me.

You look forward to a big end of season game when you get the call and the teams give you that!

I have thought about this game a bunch since reading the post and watching the 2nd quarter in fast forward. What are your thoughts about calling this game a forfeit due to making the game an actionless contest? Reading the rule below there is nothing specific in the examples, in fact most refer to dead ball situations. Just curious about your thoughts, and Stripes would you have done anything diferently after having a chance to think about it?

Rule: 10-1-5


ART. 5

Allow the game to develop into an actionless contest, this includes the following and similar acts:

a. When the clock is not running consuming a full minute through not being ready when it is time to start either half.

b. Delay the game by preventing the ball from being made promptly live or from being put in play. See 7-5-1 and 8-1-2 for the resumption-of-play procedure to use after a time-out or the intermission between quarters. The procedure is used prior to charging a technical foul in these specific situations.

c. Commit a violation of the throw-in boundary-line plane, as in 9-2-10, after any team warning for delay.

d. Contact with the free thrower or a huddle of two or more players in the lane by either team prior to a free throw following any team warning for delay.

e. Interfering with the ball following a goal after any team warning for delay.

f. Not having the court ready for play following any time-out after any team warning for delay.

Imagine having to call an illegal dribble after both teams just stood there for five minutes? That would've been hilarious!

Do the girls enjoy this? What would be the purpose of a coach employing such a strategy, especially with his team behind?

BV, years ago. Kid holding for one shot in the last minute of the half wiped the bottom of one shoe............then the other. Yes, this really happened.
