That's why I don't shoot FT's

The more I officiate the less I am willing to put up with outrageous behavior. I politely request the coach to stay in their box much more than ever before. I also don't respond if they're just...

We had a JV coach yell "call it both ways" after the first foul on the game's first possession. Now I am morally against calling a foul for the first two minutes, but my partner felt the need to...

This was something I experienced my second year of summer ball. I was initially taken aback (for about a second), then gave him a flagrant T and showed him the bench.

Thanks for a great laugh on this Friday. I can just picture the scene where your friend talks about his ballbag at a girls game.
I gotta write that into a movie scene.
