That's all the fun stuff - here's the other side...last weekend, my 5th grade son's team won their game on a last few seconds shot (about 8 sec. left, but other team never got a shot off)...as our kids are celebrating, several parents from the other team charged onto the court to yell at the referee (one-man) and our coach because they (of course) "cheated"...one of these parents - a mother - had to go thru my 11 year-old-son to get to the ref, so she did, knocking my son to the ground and stepping on him...luckily, I was out of town at a tournament, otherwise I would probably be writing this post from jail right now...anyway, after phone conferences with the league officials, that mother has been banned from the games the rest of the season and is supposed to write my son a letter of apology - ain't holding my breath...my son has a much better attitude about it than me - he said "I think she just got going in one direction and couldn't change fast enough." Thank God one of us is even-tempered!
