Crazy Like A Fox ...
As a junior varsity official, I had stayed to watch the varsity game following mine. One of the varsity officials, an experienced veteran, and one of the better officials on our board, for some reason was drawing the wrath of the crowd with some of his calls. A ball gets lodged between the backboard and the ring. Before any of the players get a chance to jump to get the ball down, he comes racing in from his postion, all five feet, three inches, of him, jumps as high as he possible can, and doesn't even get as high as bottom of the net, missing everything. The crowd started laughing at his obvious futility, but after that, they didn't give him a hard time about any of his calls.
