Best seat in the house
As an evaluator in our local association, I had the best seat in the house last night at a GV contest. I was seated right behind some parents from the visiting team. Everytime a call went against them they would moan and groan. A ball went out of bounds on the far side of the court and according to the parents the official missed the call. One of the dads turned to me and said, "How can he miss that call?" I said, "I'm not sure but we sure did a good look at it from way over here, didn't we?"
Later in the game a girl from the home team clearly blocked a shot---a foul was called. The dad again turned to look at me. I said, "You're even now."
Gotta love the parents. And to think all those years I had my stripes on I was missing all that fun in the stands.
