If I'm T or C opposite table, I'm hitting the whistle.

Also, if they're just dribbling the clock out and there's no shot to wave off, please don't do the "no shot" mechanic. An open palm in the...

I'm in no position of authority, but that is one of my biggest pet peeves.

"Sixty" versus "Full" is splitting hairs IMO.

Not in an IAABO state but this is the "when in Rome" thing in my association. "Your count, Jim!" Pretty easy.

Is showing up already dressed frowned upon in your area? I don't do it, but a lot of folks in my association do, especially for JV games that tip earlier.

Can you truly "miss" a play like this in real time? The way I see it, whatever call you make is going to piss off half the gym no matter what, regardless of right or wrong.

Definitely nothing. Looks like this ref just wanted to GTFO.

Not sure how you can have a block here.

To clarify, I never say this after blowing my whistle. Only after choosing not to.

Subtle but important difference in my opinion.

I've read in multiple John Feinstein books that a UNC player fouled out, and Smith sarcastically asked Pavia "How much time do I have?"

In blowouts, I'll say "time and score, Coach" when explaining why I passed on a foul on the team getting blown out. It's really hard for the winning coach to argue with that one.

There are matchups in my association where it's imperative to have at least one black official on the crew. Preferably two. Not saying it's right, I'm saying it's reality.

I think it's a good block call, and I don't have BI here because it's clear and obvious to me that the shot is pretty much down anyway. You could argue the player was grabbing the rim to protect...

Around :35 is the decisive angle for me--behind the bucket. I see the ball graze the glass a split-second before the St. John's player gets it.

During a throw-in, the ball does not have backcourt or frontcourt "status" until it is possessed in bounds. Since possession is first gained by A2 in the frontcourt, no it would not be.

I intend to return to the D3 Super Camp this year in Richmond. Had a great experience last summer. Maybe I'll see this mysterious BNR again.
