Even with 10 people in the stands and an otherwise mundane game, you always need to be ready. Maintaining court/player awareness might help get that first elbow and maybe prevent the second.

the first elbow was what you would expect in a girls game. on the other hand, i would say the mma training the girl who threw the second elbow is taking is really working good for her.

maybe another set of eyes may have caught that first one

Don't be misled by elbow discussions this season into thinking that you should call an intentional (personal) foul on that (the second one).

Could you elaborate? Are you saying it should be flagrant?

I am going with a flagrant on the second one.

I would. That it too much for just an intentional.

Yes indeed. Some folks in my area are locked into "moving elbow + contact above neck = INT," and that's a mistake (as this vid shows).

I'm not going to blame the new L for missing this one. It's a subtle elbow and they're working 2-person and he's getting into position.

The *second one*? I'm more likely to believe ball watching on that one. And still, things like an elbow are going to get missed. Hard to pass judgment other than, "he missed it."

He was not going to see the first one that well IMO. A center official might have seen the entire exchange and called accordingly. The second one clearly was missed and should not have been missed. Also not knowing what time of the game this happened also would add to my opinion as to the first action. This is what you get when you try to hire officials on the cheap.

Peace
