Unfortunately, the only ones that seem to understand that it is a game to be played are the kids. 8th grade playoff game, and the coach and parents are acting ridiculously, as if the million dollar jackpot was at stake. Meanwhile, the players on the court, my partner and I were all having a good laugh at their expense.
Sometimes, people just don't realize that li'l Johnny and li'l Jane make mistakes on the court. I have yet to see a perfect basketball player, or a perfect referee for that matter.
Just once, I would LOVE the opportunity to go and holler at some of these 'parents' at their normal place of business. Oh my, would I let them have it!!
