Louisville/Michigan- Natl Championship

[APG]

How did these varsity referees suggest one go about "calling" a game over? Is this a specific area thing that is allowed there? I've never heard of anyone calling a game over just because a game was ugly or not well played.

I don't have a rule book in front of me, but there is a stipulation about a game getting out of control. I am at a conference right now, but always watching the forum

If you're talking about a forfeit, that occurs if a team refuse to play after being instructed to, failing to comply with any technical foul penalty, repeated technical foul infractions or other acts that make a travesty of the game.

You can't just "call it over" because you don't like how they're playing. If it's that bad, just keep calling the fouls. It will eventually stop.

APG. I'll have to check my book at home, I thought I marked this after that game. Anyone else out there hear about this?

I'll say this...I've never heard of this. Now maybe this is a local thing there for JV games to make sure varsity games start on time, but as far as I can recall, there's nothing in the rule book as far as "calling" a game except for the reasons I stated earlier (that come from 5-4).

APG, I guess they were referring to a travesty. And that it was. I thought the coach soiled herself when she thought she was getting a call, but it definitely was a charge on her girl and not a block on the defender. Her team was playing with three by the end of the game

Perhaps this is a had to be there situation, but nothing in your description sounds like a travesty of the game.
