I cringe anytime I see those cheerleaders throwing those little basketballs into the crowd. It's just a matter of time until one of them is on the floor.
Interesting thing I saw once when my boys were playing. We were visitors, and home cheerleaders threw the balls out during a TO.
Several times that night, play was stopped to retrieve a ball off the court. I saw the R go to the administrator, who went to the table and announced that the home team would be issued a technical foul if another basketball came on the floor.
R put the ball in play, and a little basketball immediately came flying out of the student section. Needless to say, the home coach went nuts when the R issued a technical.
The coach left the bench, grabbed a small trash can, and went up into the bleachers collecting mini-basketballs. The guy was on a mission. He was taking them away from pre-schoolers, students, & adults and throwing them in the trash!
I still like to tell the story on that coach when I see him!
