Well, it happened to me Saturday. Coach who I didn't know
took a few steps out to ask me (at lead bench side) about a
call. I walked over to him, smile on my face, put my hand
on his shoulder to turn him around & get him back to the
bench. "Coach, it's like this..." sez I. "Take your
hands off me! I don't put my hands on you!" sez he.
Whoa. Of course your thread came to me immediately,
and I kept my composure long enough to tell him 3 things:
- Don't play with me like that, I don't like it.
- Get off the floor now
- You have my ruling. White ball, emphatic point down court.
I then turned right around and put the ball back in play.
Coach went to the bench & sat.
Man was I pissed. But having thought about this sitch
beforehand in detail let me act in a decisive way when it
happened to me. It's not often we get to learn something
and then apply it in the real world almost immediately!
