Something else to think about...

I also usually try to avoid T's, but this year I've heard something that will shift my perspective this year. It's a decent line to draw.

Is the coach doing/saying something that you could not...

I love my patent leather shoes. I could never get the other kind shiny enough. Yeah, the crew's shoes might not be of identical shininess, but that's true even without patent leather.

Oh yeah...

In a related story, I sure wish the blue team coach (6th grade rec ball, for crap's sake) had a vocal cord injury. Won't be long before she does. Third game back and I've already T'd a coach up. ...

Two games today and I'm a little hoarse. It'll take some practice. Had to wave off a shot at the end of a half and habitually shouted "NO! NO! NO!" Will have to find a way to draw attention to...

Thumbs up Thanks, folks

You've reinforced what I believe, which is that I really don't need to yell at all. I can walk up to coaches (especially in 3-man, where I'll often be right there anyway), players, and partner. ...

Folks,

I'm back on the floor again this year after three years away due to an injury. The injury, believe it or not, was to my vocal cords. I thought I was through, but after a couple of years...

Re: working for kid's school?

Got to agree with BigWhistle here. It is not impropriety we need to avoid as officials--it is actually much more complex than that. We need to avoid the -appearance- of impropriety. I'm certain...

Can't find a specific rule/casebook (NFHS) situation to back me up here. But in my ballgame the other day, B1 didn't like how A1 was setting her screens. A1 is well in front of A2 (who...

In my view, they're not dangerous...but they clearly are "head decoration" and not "used to control hair." This year, I'm making them take them out. Score another one for the board in making me...

Dead on, Ken. A try, by definition, MUST be at the correct basket. Since this wasn't, B1 was NOT in the "act of shooting." (I guess I'd consider this a VERY BAD pass.)
