On a lighter note....
I remember recalling this story another time, but it applies to this thread.
I was doing a game and about to throw the opening tip. I've got White and Black teams (uniforms). Everyone gathers around the circle, but no jumper for the black team. I look around, and ask "okay, I've got white, where's my black guy?" I hear this voice behind me say "right here" - and it's this black guy from the white team. He seriously thought I was asking where "the black guy" was. I smile and clarify what I was asking. After a pause, everyone bursts out laughing. Took us a full minute or two to settle down.
Still one of the funniest moments from my career, still makes me smile whenever I remember it.
