Why don't you just holler in their ear "BallBallBallBallBallBallBallBallBallBallBallBallBa ll........"?

That should get their attention.
I save that for when a player is blankly looking around trying to figure out where to throw the dead ball.

And as long as we're on the subject, I've noticed a change this year in the "BallBallBallBall.." It seems to have evaolved into "DeadDeadDeadDeadDead..." Anyone have any clue why?
