Another fan interaction story
About a month ago, I worked a Frosh Boys game in a parochial gym which was not the host team's facility. The Visitors wore their "away" Royal Blue uniforms and the home team showed up with their "Tarheel" Blue uniforms. I approached the home team coach and asked if he could switch to white. No such luck.
As I entered the center circle to toss the opening tip, I verbalized with my deep (Drill Sargeant quality and volume) voice, "We have Blue (royal blue team) going this way!" Then with a brief pause, followed with, "No, I am not colorblind, WHITE going this way!"
The 100 or so fans chuckled and we were off and running.
