And people wonder why we don't want to work these games for the peanuts that they offer. A$$hats like this are the reason. The less I'm getting paid, the lower my tolerance level is.

For various reasons I actually enjoy these games most of the time and believe that, to this point, they have been beneficial (at least to me).

1. Your stress level will decrease during these games. 2. You do not need to learn how to tolerate this behavior for scholastic games. 3. Your reputation will develop and players will know they can't get away with that BS.

Example: 3 minutes left in the game. Team A has the ball and a 15 point lead. A1 shoots a 3 point attempt, returns to the floor with his hands still in the follow through position, and there is some slight contact on his hands from the defender. I have nothing on the play. Play turns to me and yells, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!" WHACK!! I learned then that players get fined $10 bucks for a T, and have to sit out the rest of the half in which the T occurs. If it is in the first half, they can play in the second half as long as they pay the fine to the table. They also are limited to 5 Ts per season before they get thrown out of the league.

![]() I haven't done a rec game in a while but I know when I did I had way less tolerance for nonsense like this than I did for antics in H.S. or NCAAW games. Heck, I rang a H.S. coach up for the arm-slapping stuff (sans pirouettes) 5 minutes into a game this season so I know a rec league guy would have gotten one for it. The main question is: do you want to deal with this nonsense all night? If you don't, you ring up the troublemakers early - for legit reasons, of course - and your night becaomes pretty quiet. If your supervisor won't support your Ts then you should probably find another league. Why deal with the headache? I'm part of a group in NYC that officiates all kinds of rec ball from little kids to adults. During our meetings guys/girls would always complain about the behavior of coaches & players. Our assignor would say the same thing: "I don't know why you all put up with half the s*** they do to you. You have the tools, use 'em." It didn't click when I was in my younger years but when it finally did the games because less stressful and I started getting better games. Believe me, you don't T the whole building because that doesn't work, either. You just take care of things when people are obviously and openly disrespectful.

Remember that Indiana Jones scene where the guy starts with all of the fancy swordplay? Indy got out his gun and shot him nonchalantly. That would be a good metaphor. Only your T is the gun that stops the theatrics. Just don't be like that guy that was trail in those videos that were posted recently when you make the call.

+1000. The penalty is for taking care of the current business. We don't/shouldn't care about the future ramifications of our actions related to penalizing by rule someone else's actions. Had my first flagrant personal foul DQ a few weeks ago where the two bigs were fighting in the paint to get position on a rebound. One started to lose his balance and he grabbed the other guy by the neck and pretty much pile drove him into the floor and landed on his head. My partner thought we should have just gone with an intentional because now the kid had to sit out the next game (this was JV and he was a starter for the V game the same evening.) I am glad I didn't take into account the "sit the next game" penalty as I still feel like the flagrant was warranted.

Word is that that scene was improvised by Ford and the director liked it, so he kept it.

Food poisoning
Correct. They all had food poisoning (except Speilberg, who traveled with his own private stock of Spaghettio's) and Ford was NOT up to filming the elaborate fight scene they planned. So he shot him. The crew actually wrapped up filming early on that location by like a week because they just wanted to get the heck out.
