Froze Twice part 2
I took everyone's advice from my earlier thread of "Frozen Twice". I had a really good game last night and made proper calls and had very little issues with the coaches. My only problem last night was my partner. He called two very unnecessary T's and he told me he almost called a third. Also, when he called a foul his arm was at a less than 45 degree angle and I thought he was calling an offensive foul all night long. Other than that It was a good game and both teams played well.

Great!
What did you feel was unnecessary about the Ts? |
Both kids who received T's never said anything verbally they just put their arms out to the side. It wasn't a gesture of disrespect it was more of a "was the foul on me?" gesture.

See, the next game makes everything better. :)
HTBT on the Ts... As for the arm thing... there's one guy in my association who does the same thing; in his case, because of an old injury that leaves him unable to fully extend his arm over his head. Something similar could possibly be at work here. Don't forget to find one thing to improve upon in your next game. |

Suggestion: don't worry about your partner's calls. Work on the things that you can control. Work on your mechanics in a mirror -- corny, but it really helps. Work on consistent counts. Work on your hustle, demeanor and communication (verbal and non-verbal). Let your partners want to emulate you instead of you not wanting to be "like them." Work on your rule book knowledge so that when some "once a season" situation occurs, you know exactly what to do. |

Besides, that's one of my weak points as well... no matter how hard I try, I can seem to get myself to ever raise my left arm to signal a foul or violation. |
