My dear Mom use to see all my brother's games when he played in High School. I specifically instructed my Assignor to keep me out of my brother's League but what can I say....the guy drank alot.
One night, I got assigned to my brother's Big Game. I spoke to both Coaches and told them who I was. They respected my Integrity and had no problem.
My brother was having a rough night. I had 4 early fouls on him. Then a 280 lb. kid on the other Team creamed him on a perfectly legally set blind screen. It was good a good screen, the kid gave him 2 strides easy. My brother was out cold on the floor with a broken jaw. My Mom rushes onto the Court and hits me with her purse for not calling a foul. It really hurt. I motioned to the Cops to hual her away and mentioned that she always carried a Glock in her purse. They booked her on assault and battery and she spent a night in the slammer until my old man was able to borrow bail money.
My family still laughs about it at Thanksgiving and Christmas (I'm told).
