Working youth league last week, my partner hit a kid from the 5th/6th grade game with one of the funniest comments I've ever heard officiating.
Loose ball, A1 and B1 going after it...B1 plows through A1, knocks him to the floor. A1 now holding both hands over his face starts barrel rolling across the floor for about 10-12 feet...he probably rolled over about 5-6 times. It was a major overreaction to what happened but it was kinda funny at the same time given their age.
We're in the bonus so we go to set up for FTs...
I'm L and walk up to the kid at the FT line, partner at T comes in from side and we're checking on him to make sure he's okay.... I ask him "You OK buddy?"...he says "Yeah, I'm good"....My partner looks at him and says "Glad you're ok...you don't play soccer do ya?"
Kid
No...
Me
It was a soccer player reaction for sure!
