Thanks for asking! Went very well. The JV game was wild... up and down the court all night, very fast, very physical, ended up a 2 point game that didn't get tied on the last shot, thank God. V game was streaky. Both teams looking for their first win after losses to bigger schools so coaches were really wanting the W. Oddly enough the coaches worked the Sr. member of our crew the hardest. One team would pull tight then lose momentum... happened over and over. Ended up a 10 point game with an intentional foul with 1 second left. 3 man mechanics came back the minute I hit the floor very naturally. I had a good teacher last 2 years. The guy has 34+ years in. He lost some speed after heart surgery, but can still give you a page number for a rule. Only problem I had last night was being tired. JV game was up and down at a fast pace all game long, so 1/2 way through the 4th Q of varsity I was hungry, sweaty, and ready to go. Great partners. Father/son team who both said I made great calls/no calls and hope we work together again. Just might happen. A regular for several school moved about 100 miles north of here and failed to mention it to any of the schools where he had contracts. Felt good to finally get some V action since moving.
