double double
Last Sat Boys Soph game, pack the place night we are in small gym while GV game is going on main floor.
Game is pretty physical, gym is hot, many fans, small gym with not much room outside boundary lines, pretty good sized kids..That should set the stage.
Partner is L I'm T. Under Blue's basket, partner comes out with Double Foul on 32 Blue and 32 White. We switch so I am new L we go to PA and White gets Ball [maybe we shouldn't have switched but we did] play goes down floor, turnover and we're coming right back down the other way, I am L, Blue sets up play and what do these two kids do, they go right back at it. I come out with Double Foul this time 32 White and 32 Blue.
What part of knock it off did these kids not understand? Right after reporting foul Blue Coach took 32 Blue out for a breather.
Still game stayed pretty physical, and we had a lot of off-ball fouls with bumps on cutters and trying to push through screens, maybe the heat and playing in front of so many fans had an impact on the egos of these kids.
