How about this one. JV girls game. Late in the first half, foul count is 7 against white team, 1 against red team. White team was pressing full court the entire game, right from the opening tip, red team playing off. My partner and I were calling a good strong game, only good fouls, no ticky tack stuff. White coach says to me, "The fouls are 7 to 1, you think you can even it up?" I looked at him in astonishment, then later, at a dead ball, I told him, "Coach, we don't call fouls like jump balls, alternating between the teams." Then I had this same coach two days ago against a different team, this time the fouls were 6 to 1 in his favor, and guess what, he didn't complain about that. Tells me everything I need to know about this coach.
How did you avoid the temptation to walk up to the coach and ask him, "Coach, I see the fouls are 6 to 1 in your favor. You won't mind if I even it up a bit, will you?"
My partner talked me out of it. Believe me, I was tempted.
Your partner could not have talked me out of it. I can guaran-dang-tee-that!
