I was < 10. A bunch early, including a player running onto the court while her team had the ball. She wasn't "rule savvy" to say the least. Her coach told her to "go in for so-and-so," so she did. Immediately.

Two in the postseason. One for a girl who swore (remember our "no tolerance" rule). She asked her teammates "who the f*** has the shooter?" while standing on the FT lane.

The other was in a BV game. Home team up by 30. Held ball late in the 4th quarter. The visiting player fell down while trying to keep his hands on the ball. After I blow my whistle the home player stand over him and talks junk. I call the T since it was right in front of me (I was T opposite the table and the held ball was at the left elbow). I tell my partner what I have, go to the table and give the details and I let both coaches know what the deal is. When I go back to my partner we have the following conversation:

Him: "Okay, so white has possession."
Me: "Why? I called a T on white #3."
Him: "You didn't call a double technical?"
Me: "No. The kid in blue didn't say anything."
Him: "You should call a T on blue."
Me: "Why? He didn't say anything. I was standing right there."
Him: "He said something, too. You should call a tech on him."
Me: "I'm not calling a tech on him. He didn't do anything."
Him: "But I'm giving you information!"
Me: "I'm aware of that but I'm not calling a technical on him."

Here's the back story on why I ignored him. The game in question was a 5:00 start. My partner, who I hadn't worked with in years but will more than likely be late for his own funeral, walked into the gym at 5:20. I wasn't exactly happy when I found out he was my partner to begin with since I knew he'd be late. When he came in he all of a sudden took on the "R" persona like "this is how we're going to call the game." Good or bad I wasn't exactly going to trust his judgment. My other thoughts were:

*If you saw the kid in blue say something, why not say that to me before I go to the table?
*I would've called a double T if the kid had said anything but I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt since he was on his backside when he was taunted.
*If blue had been called for a T after I'd already told their HC his team was shooting two, we probably end up calling a T on him when he loses his mind...especially since his team was taking a beating.

Okay. I'm done venting.
