9th grade boys game. Assistant coach for the visiting team has been riding my partner and me all game. By the 4th quarter, his team is losing by 20, but he just keeps riding. One of his players goes up for a layup, maybe got fouled, but my partner (who was the lead--2 man game) passed on it. As we transition the other way (I am now going from Trail to Lead, not-table side), the assistant stands up and starts yelling at my partner again. My partner was already by the bench and couldn't see him standing, I came across the court and pinned him. He knew it was coming and actually didn't say a word.
Now comes the fun part. After the home team shot the free throws and inbounded, they held the ball for about 30-45 seconds before shooting, missing the shot. Visiting team's kid comes down w/ the rebound and is immediately trapped by 3 players. Instead of calling timeout, the genius decides to elbow one of the defenders in the face (not very hard or violently, I may add, just trying to clear space). Seeing how I had just T-boned the coach and the game was out of hand score wise, I called the ordinary player control. Genius however, then decides to chest bump the kid that he just elbowed, knocking him back about 4 feet (T #1) and then took the ball and slammed it off the floor (T #2, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year). Can anyone beat 3 T's in 45 seconds?
