[JAdams]

A few years back, I was working a JV boys game with a partner that I had worked several games with before. He became lead after a turnover and tried to backpeddle down the court rather than run forward with his head turned over his shoulder. He caught my eye as he lost his balance (arms flailing over his head), fell on his butt and slid right into the front row of the student section. They went wild as he picked himself up, and they were on his case the rest of the game. Perhaps the worst thing for him was that his girlfriend was there and saw the whole thing. If he weren't my partner, I would have died laughing along with all the kids.
