Unintended Consequence For Me ...

As do I. Back when we were working free scrimmages (that many didn't want to work), I could work as many as I thought I needed to get ready for the season. Since we started getting paid, everybody wants in on the money, I seldom get as many assigned as I think that I need to get ready for the season.

Most years just one is assigned. One year the only scrimmage I did was a girls scrimmage. My first "real" game of the season was a boys game, and I didn't feel ready for the physicality, rapid pace, and above the rim action. Not being an offseason (AAU) guy, it was the first boys game I had worked in nine months. I was like a "deer in headlights" the first few minutes.
