A couple of weeks ago a high school girl sitting in the second row dropped her cell phone and it bounced off the bleachers and onto the court right in front of me. It was during a live ball (in transition) so I grabbed it, handed it to her and continued officiating. Before the start of the next quarter I turned to her (she was sitting directly at mid court) and said while smiling, "I might have missed a call or two but was it necessary to throw your phone at me?" She blushed and said she didn't mean too. A guy two rows behind her said "Her phone showed 8 missed calls not 2." The guy was saying it as a joke and we had a good laugh.
