Non-typical / Interesting Calls Made Recently?
Has anyone made any non-typical, un-common, and/or interesting calls recently?
While reffing an adult league game on Saturday, I called a technical foul on a defensive player B1 who reached thru the end line plane and made contact with the ball while A1 was holding it and attempting a throw in under B1's pressure. It was a close game--call made in last 3 minutes of game. Coach approached me during the FT administration near scorer table, looking quizzical and asked "hey ref, don't we get a warning first, ai'nt the first call a warning?" I replied, " we don't issue warnings for violations, and that type of violation is well-known in the game". He fumed and walked away, accepting the call but was clearly upset/miffed. Fans were equally [and predictably] baffled and became riotous. Any of you made non-typical calls recently that you can describe? |

So, I would have answered along the lines of "If you reach through and don't touch the ball, you get the warning. But, once you make contact, it's an immediate T." |

Interesting Play
Pre-Season high school league.
Incoming substitute (A6) was walking to the table during a live ball. The ball went bouncing towards the sideline off of B team and A6 touches the live ball. He did not catch the ball "on purpose" but more out of a reaction. B1 had a chance to make a play on the ball before it went out of bounds. I conferred with my partner and we awarded the ball to the B team for a sidline throw-in. Things we considered since we did not know the exact rule: intent, advantage gained, bench personnel. Thoughts?? |

A6 was out of bounds, but B1 would have been able to save the ball. A6 took away B1's advantage by grabbing the ball right in front of him.

Thanks for the rules clarification.
But what if a bench player purposely got off the bench and interfered with the play? What would you have then? Technical foul for unsporting conduct? |

Let's see...
I too called a tech for reaching across the plane and contacting the ball this summer. Partner explained a call to a coach, partner turned away to run to Lead and coach waved him off behind his back. I saw it, coach got whacked. Partner rung up a coach and I went to Lead tableside to administer the FT's. Sure enough the kid bricked the first one and it bounced right to the freshly whacked coach. As I was walking toward him to get the ball he threw it to my partner across the court. Wish I could say I tossed him but I didn't :( Had a play where a player ran OOB along the endline and came back into the corner, received a pass, and nailed a three. Didn't call it. :mad: Had a held ball off the opening tip before team control had been established. Re-jumped with the players involved in the held ball. Kid threw the ball at me over his shoulder; on purpose. He got DQ'd. |
