[A Pennsylvania Coach]

Wow. I don't know how you do it. I had my first three-game day last Saturday, and that was all 6th grade travel league, two in one gym, drive 30 minutes, one more. Tomorrow I have two afternoon travel league games and HS JV Boys (first one of those) at 6:30 and I'm already planning the post-game hot tub trip.

Also, quick note: I had my first HS game (JV girls) Tuesday night. It was a 30-point blowout in favor of the visitors (16-1 after a quarter) so it wasn't the most interesting. The varsity officials were there early, including one who is our chapter trainer. She had a lot of positive feedback for me but also pointed out one major no-no. At the break between the first and second quarters, the table called the R over. After a few seconds, I went also, turning my back on the players. Nothing was going to happen of course, as this was an awfully calm group. But just the same, I left them with no supervision. (Extra note: The reason for the stoppage was that V22 was reporting in, with no 22 in the book. She was in the book as 27! Somehow neither scorer nor the R caught this pregame. The R was going to pass on the T but I suggested he call it. Then at the half when the V officials came in, and the R said he wanted to pass on it, they told him that he has to call that in an HS game.)
