One of my favorites

I was doing a college game (relevant only b/c most of the players were a bit taller than me. I'm 5'7".). It was JV, so the gym is pretty much empty. There are 5 guys sitting in the front row, tho. And they are really letting the other team and the officials have it. But I have to say, it was all good-natured. They were joking around and nobody was getting hot about it. They had made comments to me through the game, nothing offensive at all.

Anyway, middle of the second half, home team drives to the basket puts up a lay-up and there's a "slap" sound, but I honestly don't see contact on the shooter (maybe it was between rebounders). But remember the gym's empty, so these guys hear the slap. One of them calls me out: "What's the matter? You too short to hear, too?!?!" I actually got a laugh out of that one myself. They thought it was a riot.

Chuck
