I've been lucky this year...only one comment where the coach was upset and it was with a rookie partner. Coach thought my partner missed a travel by the other team. I was going to lead (two whistles) and saw a little of it as I was running but didn't see everything as two guys were starting to pass me and I wanted to watch them as well.

When we got back to the other end...coach said something. I just told the coach I didn't see it but my partner was right on top of the play. At that momnet, his guard drove the lane and I "think" traveled with the stutter step to start the drive. I started to raise my hand but passed...coach said "OK, we're even" as we started the other way.

There was a great comment from the stands that got me and players from both teams to grin. Home team is steadily expanding the lead and has it to 15 points about half way through the 3rd quarter...we called three quick obvious fouls on the visiting team. I was getting ready to administer the first free throw when some lady yells "There are two teams on that floor!"...followed quickly be a man yelling "Yep, one good one and one bad one." Most of us grinned and the visiting team player standing next to me said "Now that's funny...I don't care who you are."
