So about those new rules ... are they working?

[brainbrian]

I enjoy the new rules and the coaches and players I've worked seem to have bought into them by now and understand them. I'm not saying we don't have a bunch of fouls, but the coaches and players at least understand they are fouls now.

I can only think of one or two times where a coach has even complained about a foul call at the HS level. I have yet to work a college game and this Saturday will be the first college game outside of scrimmages. Something tells me that it will not be much different than the other experiences I have had so far this year. And I think D1 college basketball has filtered down to everyone and their attitudes about what is or should be called as a foul.

Saturday I did my 6th college game. It was the first time I had a coaching staff act like they didn't see the 2013-14 NCAA-Men's clinic. They complained in the latter half of the 1st half after one of my partner's handchecking calls, when were already in the double bonus for both teams. They tried to tell me what contact was allowed on a dribbler. They ended up shooting 52 free throws themselves, and pulling away in the 2nd half for a 20 point win. The losing coach never said one word to the crew about any of our calls.

I'm working my first (junior) college game of the season tomorrow night and I'm guessing that the officials working these games haven't changed a thing since last season.
