[Mark Padgett]

In a 8th grade boys rec game yesterday, I had a coach tell me I couldn't T his player because "it was halftime and you can only give a technical when the game is going on."

I had given the T because he jumped up and snapped the rim while warming up.

I said to the coach, "what rule book are you using - the one from the planet Mars?"

Needless to say, the T stood.
