Unusual stuff
 

Ever have one of those nights where the not-so-everyday stuff seems to take over? Girls' JV off-season, pretty light atmosphere, three games tonight, we had...

*Correctable error, failure to award free throws on a 7th foul. (Caught on the 8th foul, possession never changed.) I've only had two correctable errors in seven years, both times with the same partner. Yes, coincidence.
*Six players on the court (the one time I don't count).
*Held ball changed to a violation: Scramble on the floor, A-1 pinned the ball between her hands, B-2 had the ball squeezed between her legs. Whistle, thumbs up, pause, wait a minute, violation blue. Never actually had that one before.
*Bumped into a coach while administering a throw-in...
Coach: "Come on, there isn't room for two fat guys on this sideline."
Me: "Who's the other one?"

That's Why They Call It The Blues ...
 

I agree that this is not a held ball. Why is it a blue violation?

Kicked Ball.

:D

The fouls didnt show on the summer board? Or was there a 7 up there & nobody picked it up?


Whenever I dont do what I'm supposed to do (this time of year) it always pays me back. Funny how that works...

The latter. The kid running the scoreboard tried to alert us. Stupid summer keep-it-going mechanics. One coach -- well-renowned in these parts -- had a good laugh as we went through the correctable motions.

Ahh, thats unfortunate :( At least you know where you went wrong though, easy fix.
For some reason I found myself not communicating the bonus on the 6th foul last night too.

tref, check your PMs.

Intent is required
 

If the ball squeezed through B1's legs it is not a violation, unless B1 intentionally was squeezing the ball with said legs.

She was.

"...B-2 had the ball squeezed between her legs. I don't see that as an accidental act.

I don't know how the ball would get stuck between a player's leg but by an intentional act.

Depends ???
 

Probably doing Kegel exercises, to regain bladder control and help with urinary incontinence.

sure billy, either that or getting ready for her date that night

Filling In For Johnny Tonight Is ...
 

Hey johnny d. Thanks for trying, but Mark Padgett is back. Cool it.

Not to mention the fact that these are JV girls. Not cool.

Would it have made any difference if they were varsity?

Nope, but I made it clear in the OP these were JV girls' games.

that always causes a blue violation ;)

I think his implication was that the joke wasn't appropriate because these are high school girls; which he had made clear when he said it was "JV girls."

WHAT? JV Girls don't Date? ;)
