Mark, just for the record, this was Fenk-ball, which has consistently been a LOT better than Spitz's stuff. I'm takin' my chances and switching.

Juulie - as you know, I did "Fenk-ball" for years and you're right. The coaches really were never a problem, plus Robbie always paid on game day and he gave us free pop.
Today, I did three boys JV games at The Hoop in Beaverton and my partner called an intentional foul on a made basket. The shooter made one of two, and when I went to administer the inbound on the baseline to the same team, some Brainiac in the stands went ballistic, yelling that they can't get two shots and the ball if the basket is made.
My partner yelled back, "Hey - get a job, buy a rulebook, learn to read, then read it."
I thought that was pretty good. Earlier I called offensive B.I. when an offensive player snapped the rim while his teammate's shot was in the cylinder. The offensive team's howler monkey yelled that you can't call B.I. against an offensive team. This was the same coach that earlier complained when someone on the other team, after picking up his dribble, touched the ball to the floor while holding it. The monkey screeched that it was a double dribble. I told him that touching the ball to the floor while holding it wasn't a dribble. He said, "even with both hands?" I said, "one hand, two hands, three hands - it's still not a dribble."
Where do they get these guys?
