- No Blood, No Foul by Charley Rosen
Instead of following his dreams of becoming a pro basketball player, he became a basketball referee. This way he can still watch the game and be with it. The reason he wanted to become a referee was because he always criticized the referees when he played in his games.

He wants to make the other players have an extremely fair game and only call fouls when it is really necessary. He runs into many referees that say they are only doing it for money and to put food on the table, he then argues about their calls and starts contradicting many different ideas of other referees until he becomes one of the best referees in their time.
This is a very ironic novel, due to the fact that the book's name is named after the way that Jason referees. Charley Rosen did a very good job of showing that and makes the reader realize it later on in the book.
This Quote Is From
The way Jason refereed was only based on hard fouls, and legitimate mistakes made by players. Charley also made it ironic, when he had Jason point towards the other side of the court with his fingers which he didn't have and then Jason realized that he couldn't point to that direction with that hand because the players wouldn't realize it, so he had to use his other hand to point in that direction.
In conclusion, the reason that Jason Lewis was a very fair referee, was because he had the knowledge from his earlier years in high school and college.
If he hadn't lost his fingers, he would've been a professional but instead he did something many others would do, and that was making the game fair for other players and not having bad calls.

Reward Yourself
After the war, Jason is playing college basketball with two missing fingers. In the middle of the story, Jason is in pain and debating his future career.

Jason starts valuing his referee job over his wife Brenda. This teaches a lesson that family should come before everything.
Sep 30, Sarah rated it liked it. I read to page of this novel. It's pretty decent, but I wanted to move on to other books. I could see some of my basketball boys reading it, but it is a lot about the main character coming back from the war in Europe and growing up.
