Actionless Contest

[Scooby]

I've had a game like this once in over ten yeas of varsity ball. I Loved It! A nice break. Now if it was 2-3 times a season, that would be a whole different story.

By the way my partner missed a travel in the game. With A1 holding the ball he lifts his right foot and wiped the dust off it and then about a minute latter he did the same with his left foot.

I had a game where team A is holding for last shot and player did a wipe of both feet. I called the Travel violation. I was so proud of myself and I smiled after making the call.
Also had a team stall upon inbounding the ball to begin the 3rd quarter. I am glad I was the lead official. I did not know if the player holding the ball had pivoted or dribbled. Luckly, she passed the ball when they decided to run a play.
hear is a thought.... if we know Team A is going to stall until 1 minute to play in the quarter and Team B does not want to apply pressure, then can we call an official TO, shorten the quarter to 1 minute and pick up where we left off with Team A inbounding the ball?

The coaches have to decide, with the approval of the referee. See post #8
