First college game

Good luck let us know how it goes.

Remember the new block/charge rule.

But as always, pick two or three things to work on. Any more is too much.

What new block / charge rule?

Good point on the 2-3 items to work on.

Aah -- that makes sense.

No he was not referring to the low defensive block. We still don't have that in NCAA-M, only the RA. The new rule pertains to obtaining legal guarding position. In order to establish legal guarding position, the defender must have established that position before the offensive player starts his upward movement with his hands, as opposed to the previous rule of being there before the offensive player is airborne.

I was referring to the new requirements for establishing Legal Guarding Position. The Lower Defensive Block rule is new to me as I don't work NCAA-W.

Thank you- and, it went well. Very well. Better than I expected, actually. I'm not gonna lie to you men and women on this board- I was nervous. No, check that- I was scared. But, at the end of the game I found myself wanting more.

Again, I was scared. But, thanks to many, many resources, all of which I have availed myself of exhaustively, it went very well. I engaged early, got what I needed to, and, above all, learned a lot and retained it. Stayed and watched the JV mens game, then went home and made my notes.

Many thanks to all those on this board- I don't post a whole lot, but I read the board daily and have a lot of respect and gratitude for those who have made the avocation of officiating what it is today.

/again, many thanks.
