I like tight games, but when you start tacking on 4, 8, 12, 16 extra minutes (4 Ot's is another half!), the kids, much like ourselves start to drain, since they are not used to it. Plus they get to sit and take in fluids we don't. Try as you might to make yourself out to be a tough guy, we need the same things. I also know it is harder for them to not commit stupid "fatigue" fouls, and the yippie dogs, A.K.A. coaches, on the sidelines seem to find a way to become even bigger jerks.
I like close ones, but the fun leaves the longer they go.
