Ref making a bad call?

[thetruth34jj]

terrible call reach in

[rookie00025]

i wonder who the all time leading scorer in hurricane high school history is?

[se7envii7]

Bad CALL not a foul because she touched the ball, but not double dribble becasue she touched the ball. That's a loose ball that was collected by the team in black. She could have even started dribbling it again and it would have been legal.

[Polaris9211]

it's fucking womens basketball so who gives a shit

[scottypurpleandgold]

ive had worse calls get the ball blocked u catch it again and get called for travel

[jezusnumba2]

it was tripple dribble, a hold, the tipped pass was good, and idk what the tech was about.

[tntkop]

Could just as easily have been traveling. Besides, its girls hs ball....so who cares?

[hubeef]

I cant believe ur gonna post a video hurting this guy for that 1!!!! come on...if he did not notice the tip from defender, he made a bad honest mistake which i can understand

[Redsoxlakes24]

who cares about this girls suck at basketball, if this was nba they would just dunk it from the three point line

[Fantasy23Legend]

defensive player hit the ball, no double dribble. Not seeing a technical foul everyone is talking about. If anything, should have been a foul. I referee, would have been a no call either way.

[DanielDrag15]

i think the coach was complaining coz he thought it was a foul

[MrCrazygatorade]

double dribble and the defender that was on the ball reached to here arm. (just pointing that out)

[wasup46]

double dribble

[63IRISH63]

Yeah...definitely not worth getting a T..unless it was a close end-game situation.  It's just hard to tell whether or not the defender interrupted the dribble. If she did...bad call. If she didn't, correct call.

[jonfun]

@63IRISH63 thank you! That's what I've been looking for since I posted it. Not just one side or the other! UNBIASED RULE! Thank you!

[corrymac]

double dribble

[BLAHHed13]

she obviously picked up the ball twice? she double dribbled..

[vanfar15]

if you dribble pick it up or pin it to a part of your body and take another dribble it is a double dribble

[minnecoachman]

Reach in foul? Since when is "reaching in" a foul? Try to find "reaching in" in the rule book. You never will. There is nothing illegal about reaching in - how else would a player get a steal? People who yell out "reaching in" and "over the back" continue to show their complete lack of knowledge of the game. Neither is a foul - they are made up terms by announcers to describe action. They ARE NOT fouls.

[brandon5377]

lmao, please tell the refs around here that.

they dont know shit about basketball, and they throw games just because we go undefeated every year

[Bl3art]

who ever made this video open your eyes and kingsman1288 is right refs dont have like special zoom vesion to see if its double or not their the scame as you and me

[sxwrulz]

It looks as if she dribbed the ball with 2 hands and is why double dribble was called. It had nothing to do with the fact a girl from the opposing team touched it.

[sneakeepanda]

That's at winfield!

[GWayneWade]

I think that is a tough call. On normal speed I thought it was clearly a double-dribble. But in slo-mo I can't be sure. I think the ref did alright on this one.

[marcusref17]

I would tend to say good call.

[lockyear93]

Thats a double dribble + if it was a bad call get over it thats a part of the game being a ref isnt easy

[888ENRY888]

double dribble, right call...

[ccsufrenchhorndude]

100% double dribble.. defender did not touch the ball and the girl even knew she did it lol

[ArkAngelHFB]

unless the deffender touched the ball yea duoble dribble... it does look like the deffender tips the ball away... orat least gets hand on it but it's well not that bit a deal... walk away and go on with the game and your life.

[Canada9990]

double dribble...

easy call

[ArkAngelHFB]

wrong look close the deffender get a hand on it... once that happens she can dribble again... plus the deffender is responsible for the ball comming out... watch in full screen in HD and it's clear... bad call by the ref

[juvenilejoker]

r u retarded?

yeah man if the defender touches the ball i can double dribble... wtf r u on about?

the chick dropped the ball like a spastic like 1 sec after the defender barley touched it

double dribble, ud have to be retarded not to agree

[ArkAngelHFB]

you are missing my point... the deffender touched the ball... if a person picks up thier dribble and the defender touches the ball... the person has the right to resume dribble...

[kingsman1288]

Not unless the touch by the defender causes the offensive player to lose control of the ball. The defender simply touching the ball does not give the offensive player the right to dribble again.

[mattk000]

The defender is definitely not responsible for the ball bouncing unless she has some sort of superhuman strength. It is a clear two-handed dribble.

[johnnybbox24]

Double Dribble Easily

[wfbaseballguy]

cerified referee here. easily a double dribble

[JEngbers10]

I cant believe that anyone complained about that.. Thats not even worth gettin kicked out for, easily a double dribble

[jonfun]

Coach didn't get kicked out a friend of he coaches in the stand did. He heckle the ref saying, "That's the only one you've got right so far."

It was just weird in that Gym that night.

[Zenn3k]

I'd say that was a double dribble.

[jonfun]

I'm so going to have to use a telestrator and zoom to show the tip. Once again the coach protested the call for a Technical Foul and at least one person was ejected from he Gym. So, apparently the call is a VERY close one.

Secondary note, after the game the coach said to take that ref off the list for that area so there might be more to this than just this one call.

[kingsman1288]

He got himself a T over this call? Wow...he needs to learn how to pick and choose his battles. This play is definitely not worth a T.

[jonfun]

The ways some of the call were going in the first half he had every right to finally voice his frustrations. If I have to I'll post the whole game over on myspace.

Ref's do not have it easy. I don't care how training they have either.

It will eventually end up like Tennis where they have a computer hooked to the court to prove where the ball hit and eliminate human error and reinstate fairness. I don't know how they'll implement it in contact sports though.

[kingsman1288]

You don't have to tell me we don't have it easy, I officiate basketball for a living. HS and some college ball. Basketball is bar none the hardest sport to officiate because of the speed of play and so much is based on judgment.

The fact of the matter is, no official will ever be 100% right. We're human, just as the coaches and players are.

[HellsGamers66]

u made a video of a easy call double dribble in a local girls league??

[jonfun]

So far AlexPicchietti is the one that saw what coach and I saw. The ball is tipped and the girl grabbed it with both hands to recover. The coach and I saw the same thing. Coach got a technical for it and one person heckled the ref to get thrown out of the Gym.

[mattk000]

Illegal dribble. Even with the grainy footage, we've got a good angle. Maybe if it was an under 10s game it could be a foul.

[jonfun]

This video is in HQ so click to turn up the quality should eliminate some of that.

[americansweetie23]

double dribble.

no doubt about it.

[AlexPicchietti]

Other girl poked it away. no double. bad call, but easy to mistake.

[leptalbldgs]

Easily double dribble. She ended the dribble by grabbing it with both hands, it slipped out, dribbled with two hands. Illegal.

[johnatracey]

double dribbs
