JV girls.
Got there 40 minutes early to talk with my semi-final partner. I changed, and as we just start pre-gaming, in comes another official with about 6 years experience. His freshman game was called off (One school didn't have numbers and he was not notified), and he asked if he could work a three-whistle. Well, I immediately said YES, then my partner said okay, and then all of a sudden there's this big pre-game thing starting when the new guy's partner from the cancelled freshman game showed up. Well, <u>NOW</u>, I voted for stools in the corners, but we ended up doing a three. I and another partner had taught/trained tonight's partners in the past, and we faked fine, for a JV game. We probably had 38 years experience on the floor. The Varsity game was a two-man using 1992 mechanics. |
Last spring I had an AAU set in a gym with 2 courts going. Team A for my game didn't show so we went 4 man on the other game subbing in every 10 minutes or so. Worked fine and everybody got a full fee.

And yep, in front of the table, about half way between the sideline & center court. Where are you told to report from? |
Dan, I don't think reporting area was ever even mentioned at Nationwide. I was assuming we'd clear the players and report, just like in the past. Huh. I better ask somebody around here about that.

My First Official Game.
My Goodness. I was offered an on call job at a local gym for league nights. I show up about an hour or so prior to game time to discuss with my partner the rules we'd be applying, along with the gym's rules. I check in with management and they tell me I have no partner. WTF?!
By word of mouth, I kept hearing that rec ball is the absolute worst, so now I'm really nervous. But went ahead and ran with it solo. All I knew was to protect the shooter, abandonded the 3sec rule (obviously can't see everything), and of course, ref the defense! Of course it had to be 69-69 with 10 secs left. I was just praying, please don't let me go into OT with these wolves! haha jk. It went fine, was great!! =) |
