JVB game last Fri. 47 secs left in the game. A down by 12 and coach clears his bench for two B free-throws. A replaces all five players. Partner is administering shots and I am T (2-man). As I'm observing players in lane I notice something that appears gold and shiny under A1's uniform around his neck.
Clank, first free-throw rims out.
I approach A1 and notice he’s wearing a gold chain. TWEET! “Coach, I need another player this one’s not ready to play.” A1 goes toward his bench and is trying to take the necklace off. Coach sits him down and replaces him. That was it. No argument. He's done. More importantly, the coach did not try to put him in later after another stoppage. Good lesson - learned the hard way.
