I don't think there was intent to do anything but clear the kid away. The result was more because the offensive player was so much shorter than the defender and she just happened to get whacked in the neck. I don't see anything but a common foul.

Nice of no one to even go check on the kid who's on the floor.

Nor does anyone acknowledge #24 white slamming the ball in disgust...a guaranteed T there as well. This just makes the entire crew look BAD all around. I'm kind of surprised the governing body even saw fit to post it.

And I disagree with the headline of the web post...Poor mechanics didn't cause the ejection...I'd say poor game management was more to blame.

The end result of the officials mistakes was a coach's ejection. That is how my supervisor would characterize it also.

I tend to agree. Yes, could the coach keep a calm head? Sure. But I'd venture a large majority of coaches would end up getting a T here.

Do we miss calls sometimes....even if we're doing everything we should? Yup. But it's going to be hard for any supervisor to back his officials when a call is missed due to the absolute failure in the basic mechanics of the system.

1. I've got a common foul. Defender is a bit too aggressive and follows through with her swim move to front the player, but I don't see windup or impact. The girl goes flying cuz she's 70 pounds.

2. Really curious what the first whistle was. Looks like C is coming in with a late foul.

3. White #24 slamming the ball needs to be addressed one way or the other. Not really sure why she's slamming the ball down but there's no need for that.

4. Give the first T and get away. Don't go to the table right away if you have to go past the coach.

5. Technical foul on that dude's moustache.

That wasn't his fist, that was glare off of his head.

Yeah I guess that would be asking too much. It's nice to see a college referee having so much restraint with the second T though...

I know you're being sarcastic overall, but what makes you think he's a college official? His choice to purchase a shirt with side panels?

The ball "slam" was nothing I'd bother with, to be honest. Not like it went 20 feet in the air and there was more important stuff to do.

(Like ejecting the coach and playing Captain Kangaroo at the town picnic apparently....)

He took a real hit in real estate in late 00's (is that how we identify that decade?).

I do not know what this official was watching. At the very least call something on someone.

And if you are going to call a T, you do not need to look at them when doing it. Just make the call and keep it moving.

Peace

3-person, it's so easy. Call the technical and go get the ball and shoot the free throws. Do not stop at the table, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Or if the shots are at the end with the coach who just got whacked, go straight to the division line and let your partners administer the free throws.

Too many guys want to call one and then stick around. Why? Hoping the coach says something else so you can chunk him?

[HokiePaul]

Don't disagree with the headline either.

The mechanics (whether it be missing rough post play or the horrible mechanics of an exaggerated T signal right in the coaches face or the poor mechanics of not getting away from the coach and letting your partner(s) get the second T if necessary) did absolutely cause that ejection.

The coach's actions deserved a single T. That's it.
The second T (and ejection) only happened because of poor mechanics.
