Damar Hamlin
I'm horrified at Hamlin's collapse for him, his family, and teammates. Unfortunately it also dredged up something that happened while I was officiating years ago and I'll admit it's affecting me in a...

In between "real" association memberships when I was doing rec ball only my wife came to a game I did. Someone was giving me the business, she put up with it for a bit, then turned on the guy and...

Dan Hurley did stupid things
And earned stupid prizes. Slapped the ad scroller/table thing to earn the first technical then "pumped up" the crowd to earn the second.
As a UConn alum/fan that was embarrassing enough. Now there...

We attended the UConn vs. GT women's game in December and all 3 officials were masked during the game. Have watched a good bit of UConn and UGA women's and UConn men's and the women's game officials...

That's what I was wondering too
Does the RA apply in a transition play like that? Even if it did there was no other defender around so wouldn't that make him primary and therefore mean no RA? No opinion because I never ref'd above...

Not ever even close to being a college official
But I do know that in HS we would make sure, either in discussion during the dead ball or signal by the appropriate official, who had last-second shot like that. Only if the other two had definitive...

Definitely T Worthy
I think we've gotten gun-shy when it comes to using this very valuable tool. You did him a favor with the warning, then even more so by explaining why he was behaving poorly during the break (good...

Where was C?
That's got to be his call all the way doesn't it? Speculation only but, maybe as he's trying to sort out call/no-call on the initial bump, he brain-locks on the player control?
Ok, just rewatched...

Let's go to the videotape
A throw-back for all you Warner Wolf fans out there.

The second worst thing
Besides the elbow itself is that the kid looked at the L to see if he was watching the shooter (i.e., if the coast was clear to throw the elbow). Guess he forgot it was a 3-man crew (and good job by...

I have a pair of these and have just about worn them out (which stinks because they're not being made anymore). I much prefer them, or suspender-like stays, that latch onto the bottom of the shirt...
