last summer i worked a game and the weaker team had a player that had a very visible mental disability. he played man defense on both ends of the court(offense and defense). the man he was guarding hung out in the lane all game. i got together with my partners and discussed the handicap and said we are not going to call 3 sec. on this guy no matter what. both coaches recognized this and thanked us for not embarrassing the young fellow. he actually got to take 3 or 4 shots during the game and the defense played well to allow a clear shot. it was good sportsmanship all around and fun to work.
