Last night, the score after the first quarter was 20-5. The coach of the trailing team comes up to me and my partner and says that although it's obvious that his team is nowhere as good as the other, it's because the other team is much bigger and stronger. At that point it was all I could do to keep from saying "Ya' think???".
He then says that the other team is using it's size and strength to play too rough and his boys are getting hurt. Ya, right. So I say to him, "OK. How about if I tell the other coach to have his team play like wussies the rest of the night? Would that be OK?" He stares for a moment, then sits down and doesn't say another word the rest of the night.
At halftime, I told the other coach what transpired. He cracked up. After the game, he came up to me and said he thinks his point guard actually played like a wussie since this was the first game all season he didn't get at least four fouls.
