Some Nights

[SE Minnestoa Re]

Called my first three second violation of the season last night in girls varsity. Girl caught the ball and just stood in the lane waiting apparently for the Red Sea to open up. I tried to give her plenty of time to make some kind of move but it never came.

The coach was upset because she said I can't call a three second violation if the player in the lane has the ball.

No wonder they have not won a game this year.

We had a coach argue a travel called against his opponent. Said he didn't mean to be a jerk, but that was a "legal stutter step." Told my partner he should've whacked him for being a jerk.

If we had fewer than 10-15 travels, I'd be shocked.

Last night, a coach protested that his player did not commit a player control foul (NFHS) because the defender was under the basket ...

Were you one of my P's last night?

Last night also goes down for me as having the most blocked shots I can remember - I'd say 15 - 20 for sure. Memorable.

Shooting percentage last night - probably 5-10% combined. HORRIBLE! Also memorable. Blech.

We had a Home player dunk during warm-ups. While R was taking care of informing table and Coaches,Visiting player goes up and throws one down also. I walked over to him and said "Really?" and his response was "Well they already did it, so you can't T me too."

Sigh...

That is alright, first night 10 days ago BV...assistant coach told me freedom of movement was a point of emphasis...I reluctantly bit in and told him if it is we just bumped up a level and I wasn't getting paid enough!!!

Was it a false double T or a simultaneous T?

Stir that pot!!

We had V shoot 2, then H shoot 2 and then inbound ball at division line. As soon as H had ball for throw-in, arrow went to V. Both my partners wanted to shoot all 4 and then toss it up...talked them out of that.

Mine last night in the 4Q of a BV after an offensive player pushed a defensive player to the ground just outside the block, while trying to post up and I blew a team control foul.....

'He was just fighting for position!!'
