how many fouls is too many?

[Rich]

BV tonight. Remembering this thread:

(1) We started at exactly 7:30PM. The JV game started late (visitors arrived late) and we technically started 15 minutes after the 7:15PM posted start time. I considered it a victory.

(2) The JV officials called fewer fouls than I would've. I said that never happened and so now I'm a liar. They called 2 the entire third quarter and there was a pretty good hack that they no called I hope I would've gotten. IIRC, they never got close to the bonus either half. Then again, there wasn't a whole lotta defense going on.

(3) The first foul I called tonight was not the strongest call I've made this season. Player caught the ball in the post, got bumped from behind and stepped forward to balance himself with what became a non-pivot foot. Slower whistle, I could've (and should've easily) passed. Probably.

Still, nice game tonight and one of the players passed the 1000 point threshold with his 20th point early in the fourth quarter.

Visiting coach used a line I had to Google -- the fouls were 10 to 2 (visiting team jacking up threes and playing very aggressive defense, not well). Coach said, "Where's Doyle Brunson, it's 10-2!" Now, I know who Doyle Brunson is, but had no clue his favorite hand to play is 10-2. Coach got me, I guess. I think he was joking around a bit...maybe.

I've known JV/Sophomore/Prelim officials to brag about not calling a lot of fouls. It just depends on how is working and why they are there.

For the record, it is not his "favorite" hand, but rather one that he famously played once that worked out very well for him in the WSOP (or it's precursor)

Picky, picky lately.

Funny you should say that. I called a girls JV game last night, not a lot of fouls or offense for that matter. Final was 25-13, but we got done at 6:38.

The varsity officials told us they appreciated that because it meant the game was going to start on time and they also didn't have to rush what they were doing and they also got a chance to offer some feedback for us as opposed to having to run on the floor for the start of their game.
