Illinois/Wisconsin - Big Ten refs

I don't know what Rich Falk tells his officials, but BT games are the most poorly called games in the country.

9-8 just states that the ball can't be in the backcourt for 10 seconds, but doesn't mention if the time it takes to inbound the ball counts towards that.

I thought it sounded strange, but this was...

10 second count, when does it start?

I apologize if this is a dumb question.

I have always started my 10 second count once the ball is touched by the inbounding team on a throw in. A veteran partner told me that a 10 second count...

Thanks for the responses, fellas.

I feel weird because I always accompany my other signals (push, hold, charge, block, illegal screen, hand check, as well as violations) with a verbal cue.

When reporting a hack, or "illegal use of hands", what do you say to the table?

Clemson got hosed. There was plenty of time for all of the appropriate parties to put a fair amount of time back on, but 4.4 seconds was obviously too much.

Thanks. Luckily, there is a big sporting good store on the way to my game tonight. It's very strange trying to ref a game without it. :D

Oh c'mon. I am extremely friendly and polite with game management....ALWAYS. It really isn't too much to ask for them to provide a bottle of water. That's not exactly undue influence.
