Last week I had quite the string of T's in my games (not all were given out by me)...
I don't call much HS ball, but I had 6 HS girls games for holiday tournaments last week. In my first game, we had to warn the coach at halftime for officiating from the sidelines too much. Two minutes into the 3rd quarter there was the best block of the game on his girl in the lane. He says, very loudly, "FOOO-ULLL!" WHACK. Easy one. Later on, my partner whacks a girl for arguing a foul call. Two T's in my first game. Oh, and after our second game, the coach was waiting for us in the hospitality room to talk to us about how inconstant we were during his game. We didn't have that, and a special report was filed to the state for his actions after the game (he is also the AD at his school... bush league).
My third game had a "fight" (one girl took a swing and hit the ball while the other girl called her a female dog). T'd both of them up and ejected the one for taking a swing. My partner later whacked a girl for throwing her arms in the air after a foul call on her.
In my sixth and final game, we had two different playing styles. One team pressed and played man, while the other team played a 2-3 sagging zone. Needless to say, the fouls were a little lopsided because of there being two different defenses run. Well, the assistant coach (who was more or less the head coach) who was losing in the foul count race couldn't figure it out. We warned her in the first half about complaining about the foul counts (they were 6-0 at the time). In between the third and fourth quarters, she came out of her huddle and screamed, "The fouls are 8 to 2!" Well that warranted a simultaneous whacking from two of us. She continued on about how terrible we are, and she was sent packing. The head coach apologized to us for her assistant's actions after the game...
What a week!
