Final minute of Game 7. One point game. Two of the savviest players in history, Chris Paul and James Harden, both bet on the same move: the flop.

Players Have Done A Better Job With Verticality In Recent Years ... Making Flopping More Obvious For All Parties Concerned. Giving Players A Head's Up About Rule Specifics Is Also Important ... So They Recognize Defenders Have A Right To Space On The Floor Also. #GoUpStrong

Patience will be paramount during today's #mshsl board of directors meeting, which begins at 9 a.m. The agenda consists of 32 items. Return to Participation (fall activities) is the 23rd item on the agenda. This will be a lengthy meeting. I will Tweet updates as warranted.

You can't leave it a judgement call in any way. Either have to leave it how it is or stop those reviews.

Can’t tell you how many times I would make that note while doing an evaluation. Always felt that officials should go into a game hoping they never had to blow their whistle and work backwards from there.

15 years ago. I was a mess. I spent more time looking where my partners were than watching the game. 🤣🤣
Do you remember officiating your first 3-man game?

No. Due mainly that coaches are the ones that rate us. Terrible way to rate but that’s the way it is.

Happy Mother’s Day from the CBOA!!! We appreciate your “guidance” towards us at basketball games. 1. “That’s a foul!!!” 2. “Don’t let them hurt my baby!!!” 3. “Be consistent. You guys suck!!!” 4. “8 vs 5. That is NOT fair!!!” 5. “BLOW YOUR WHISTLE!!!” – at Missouri, USA

Travel. Lifts pivot foot prior to jump then returns it to the floor.

Jumps off his right foot lands left right. This is an easy travel because he replanted his pivot foot.
