Here's how the game went. First, the home team was wearing green uniforms and the visitors were wearing white. Oh well, it's fifth grade. We had to have a total of seven players remove T-shirts because of color problems. As far as I could tell, no nipple rings, and yes - I asked.
In the first half, we called eleven 5 second closely guarded violations. Both teams were in double bonus both halves. In the 3rd quarter, the home coach yelled "You gotta call SOMETHING!!" when there was a scramble for a loose ball under the basket involving 4 or 5 kids. When he yelled it two more times, I waited for my partner to blow his whistle (he was lead), I turned to the coach and said, "OK coach. I will." I faced the table and said loudly, "I have a no-call on the green team and a two no-calls on the white team. How's that, coach?"
He just sat down.
Here's the kicker. With about three minutes to go, the score was tied. My partner called a foul on a visiting player and then as he started to walk toward the table, he calls a T on the kid who got fouled and said to the table that it was flagrant for profanity (sound like another recent thread?) and the kid was ejected. There was then a TO for the visitors. During the TO, I asked my partner what the kid said. He got this funny look on his face and told me the kid who got fouled was mad and called the other kid a "mommy f*****"". I said, "you mean 'mutha f*****'"? He said no - the kid said "mommy" plain as day. We both agreed that neither one of us had ever heard it expressed that way before. Fortunately, the coach didn't ask.
The home team pulled away in the last few minutes to win by nine. It was a good thing for my partner that they did, because earlier I told him that the game was way too close and if it went into overtime it would be his fault and he would be very sorry.
