The ultimate ball-watcher
Last night I had a good chance to work on keeping a straight face and it happened during the JV game. I was sitting in a corner of the gym watching the game and saw an official who was watching the ball big time! The ball was up around the three point line and he was on the end line right in front of me. He is about 6'2" (this must matter). I'm sitting there looking at him and this little girl runs across the court literally 4-7 feet in front of him. I don't mean she barely goes across the corner of the court, she nearly cuts diagonally from two steps below the free throw line extended to almost through the paint. Guess what? He didn't see her! He didn't see her! He was watching the ball so much that he didn't see this little girl and didn't stop the game for safety. Unbelievable!
