R,
You started a monster here.
In response to Mark's question: The clock was stopped with .5 seconds. Probably the only time this season that the clock was stopped correctly (per the league guidelines).
I am inclined to agree with you on the retiring aspect. Haven't decided yet. I have decided that my son will not attend their summer youth b-ball camp. How can they teach sportsmanship when their actions are totally opposite? Unless they are taching only skills and techniques and sportsmanship is no longer a factor in the game.
This is a small town and everyone knows everyone (Most of the players in this league are our kids teachers). Having said that, they have a hard time understanding that there are players and there are officials on the court. I have found that dealing with the youth league and those kids' parents is far more enjoyable than listening to a bunch of grown men complain about everything. Last night I even gave my rule book to one of the players so he could "research" his plea. Strange though, he preferred not to look it up, but to continue his ranting.
Oh, BTW, enjoy the championship game. I'll think about ya'll while I am traveling.
