Eighth grade boys "competitive" league game last night. Final score was 40-32 (pretty normal for this level). Never got into bonus in either half. Partner was great. No scoring problems. Neither coach ever yelled at us at all. Each one did ask a rules question separately during timeouts but both were very polite and thanked us. Crowd was into the game but I didn't hear even a single criticism of the officiating at all. None of the players complained about a call and the game never got rough.
After the game, my partner asked me to pinch him to wake him up. If I had been working with Juulie, I probably would have done it.
Why can't they all be like this?
