I don't usually post about my partners, but last night's partner embodied many of the stereotypes that we complain about amongst ourselves on this board.
First, though, I have to admit that I was late to the game site due to the unbelievably heavy traffic. I arrived at the site only 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start.
My partner was wearing pants with a belt, never a good sign, and they were the wrong color, to boot. So right away, I was leery of him. Here's just a sampling of his actual calls last night:
Rebounding foul: "#34 is climbing!!" (while giving the "over the back" signal);
3 seconds: "33's in there too long!!"
Ball slips out of shooter's hands OOB: "You looooooooost it! White!"
Travel: "He stepped before the contact!!"
Not good times
