Defensive 3 seconds NFHS

[Bad Zebra]

I called one in my first year...I think everybody has (but most won't admit it). Had to be a little embarassing in a tournament,though (ouch). Was it varsity? Post season?

You were just preparing yourself for the NBA!

Hey at least you didn't call a T for it.

Oh yeah....all of the above. Like i said, have worked both coaches before, they both got a chuckle over it.

I've done worse, but I remind myself, which team is on offense and think, think, think...

I called a shot clock violation with the ball in the air....good basket....waved off...talked to partners and called it good...live and learn.

Mistakes can happen once, if the same mistakes happen more than that, you're not learning. JMO

I had something in that "which end are we on" realm this year.

Freshmen boys. I'm the L in the A position, red ball, which becomes loose, two players fight for it. I have a holding foul on 52 red. Both teams in the bonus, I state the foul and "1-and-1" at the site.

As I go to report, the players start lining up for red FTs on that end. I turn back, and pause. Something's off here, and it's more than just which team committed the foul. It takes a few seconds, but it hits me, and I clear it up.

"No, guys, 52 RED. White ball," I confidently declare as I point to the end line. Then, I turn back to the table, with a sheepish grin, to punch.

"Sorry, team control."
