Mine sucked!

Girls game - We had the most undisciplined team that our association covers, at their place. A senior guard on the team is the worst. I think I've stuck her every time I've seen her since she was a sophomore.

Visitors have a 6'4" girl. They're triple teaming her without the ball! About 2 minutes into the game, (you aren't going to believe this!) I notice that one of the three players is olding her hands directly in front of the irls eyes. I've never seen it before. At the next break, I went to the head coach, explained that it was illegal and that the next time it happened, I wouldn't hesitate to call the T. They called a TO and cleaned it up.

But it went downhill from there. 1 T on the asst. coach, 2 on players, and 1 on the bench when we were unsure which sub made the comment.

Boys game - We meet the coaches separately here. The visiting coach comments about the poor sportsmanship in the girls game when we ask him to help us promote good sportmanship. We agree and tell him that we aren't going to have a repeat performance. 2 minutes into the game, I whistle a foul on his PG. He turns and screams at me, "I didn't touch him!!" WHACK! "I'm going to clean this up early," I say to myself. And we did. No more problems! It made the game better.

We still had to call a lot of illegal use fouls in the first half but we cleaned it up for the second. Home team, down 1 with under 10 seconds left, guard drives, CRASH! PC! L nails it. We go home 3 seconds later.

So it ended a helluva lot better than it started.
