Sounds good Dan.. and I'm all for it. But sometimes at the high school level (especially sub-varsity) that might result in nothing... or someone finding a towel and holding it up towards me to come and get it. I won't make an issue of it (at the time). I'll go get it to keep things moving. Then later, I'll make sure that schools A.D. gets addressed by our association so it never happens again.

Sometimes at games, especially during the summer, the coach will just toss a towel out towards me. As I say, I never take it, I don't even look at it. That's just me, some folks I know are hapy to take it & wipe up the floor, I just don't do it.

How do you talk to the kid while you're bending down wiping the floor with a towel? I mean without embarrasing him.

Simple. As you are wiping the floor with the towel using your foot (not bending over), you just talk to him without looking him/her in the eye. Works best while we're lined up for free throws.

Oh. Nevermind.

Can't you just wander over to him for a few words while the janitor - or even the coach - is mopping the floor?

Sure could, and that might be best in some situations. However, there are situations where you might want to talk to a kid without letting everyone in the gym know you are addressing him/her.

Yep, we agree here, there are lots of times when you can talk to a player without anyone else knowing about it.
