This question comes from watching my son's varsity basketball game last night. Maybe answers can help me heading to year no. 2 as an umpire. What looked to be a foul was called a jump ball. Most of the gym was screaming for a foul ( I don't know how you basketball refs do it! ), and ball was taken to baseline for inbounding. The player who went to inbound asked the ref how the play result was not a foul and conversation, breif- conversation, started. After a bit of conversation the ref said "thats enough son" ,the players response was "I'm not your son" and was promtly given a tech. foul. The player messed up by talking to the ref might have done better by just saying "that's enough". For full disclosure the the player and I share the same height, hair color (when mine was not grey ),address and last name! MST I think you know him! Yes I'm venting, and I explained how he messed up but I do want some feedback pn what kind of discussions are ok.
