Video of yours truly officiating

[JetMetFan]

First and foremost, you're to be commended for putting yourself out there on here This is a tough crowd...

These are all from the first foul call sequence:

1. Stop ball-watching (we all do it sometimes).

2. When you went up with the foul call you had a fist. For some reason right before you started heading to report it changed to an open hand which made it seem as though you changed your mind about the foul.

3. I know you saw the three players in black come in as you were about to report since you said something to them...yet you continued reporting. When they don't stop, tell them again. Apart from being a T, letting players come in without being beckoned is a good way to end up with more than five on the court for one team.

Other stuff:

*When play went to the other end the first time, at the 1:09 mark you closed in quickly to the lane line as the player in black drove down the middle. Think about staying wider in those situations. You'll see more of the play.

*You closed down (moved closer to the lane) while a shot was in the air at 2:15. Same thing as the previous comment.

*During the possession that ended with the travel at 3:45 you seemed pretty locked in to one spot on the floor as the T. Don't be afraid to move, just make sure you're moving to improve. You can also get a few steps closer to the end line. Officiate what's in front of you not what you're afraid might happen if the play goes the other direction. They're young. We're not (though you're probably WAY younger than me . They're going to beat us sometimes.

*On the foul call at 3:56 ask yourself something: Did White #6 push the defender or did she hit her? I ask because you gave the push signal when reporting and as an assignor of mine once said that's our bailout signal when we know something illegal took place but we aren't sure what it was It was a foul, no doubt. Just make sure you signal what they actually did.

Keep working hard!
