Learned not to ask that a long time ago in my middle school games. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Especially at the beginning of the season, many middle school students at the table aren't really sure what the "bonus" means.
After twenty-five years of coaching middle school basketball, thirty years of officiating Catholic middle school games on my off nights of full varsity schedules, and the last four years of a steady diet of middle school games, I'm whatcha call a middle school basketball officiating expert.
Yep, on my tombstone it will say, "Here Lies BillyMac, Middle School Basketball Officiating Expert".
Hopefully not too soon.
