You'll get rule set confusion like that from time to time. I had a sixth grade rec game a few months ago: Team A scores, goes up four. Coach B requests and is granted the time out, then asks me to advance the ball after the time out. I explain that rule only exists in the NBA, and the coach concedes, but let me know an official in his previous game allowed that for the other team. ![]()

I hear about this guy all the time here in Connecticut. Now he's working up in Maine? Man. This guy really gets around.

I forgot to include that I called 2 intentional fouls from behind during fast-breaks (one shirt-grab, one bear hug).
My partner called an intentional foul for fouling the inbounder. He was going to call it a technical, I had to correct him. During the free throws, I had this conversation with the coach who got the free throws. Him: Is it a flagrant or a technical? Me: It's an intentional personal, Coach. [Long pause] Him: So is that 2 foul shots or 4? Me: [rolling eyes] Just 2, Coach. |

Quality of a great basketball official: Having the patience of Job.

I swear that some coaches think all of the rules are on that tournament sheet at the table.

Huh??? What difference? (The only one I can think of is a charge after the release of a shot....counts if it does in NCAA, doesn't count in NFHS).

That's why I said "ironically," because they pick the one rule where it's the same and claim "we're not in the NBA." Then, they want traveling called when the shooter catches his airball, they want the ball advanced after a TO, or they want some other NBA rule to be applied.

A classic.....
At a Bigshots event in Richmond, Va. over Memorial Day weekend, a player from a team from Baltimore(ever seen "The Wire") that neighborHOOD, came off the bench when one of his players on the court was swinging at a referee.
Well it turned into a HUGE throwdown...cops from VCU and the Richmond PD came into the Siegel Center.... The funniest thing was that one of the kids mother's came down and of course she was saying her kid was not at fault, but she handed the boys child for him to hold while he was being interviewed by the police..... "Yes officer, when I am not an 18 hoodlum fighting on the basketball court I am an upstanding father in the community!!!!!" And in a complete irony, the referee involved in the fight had been assigned to that teams next game!!!! No he didn't work it someone else did... |
