Some of the only good I can see for you from this experience is that when you get a good partner(s) you will appreciate them all the more. I've had a few games and partners like this and the whole time I'm thinking, man this game can't get over with soon enough. (Most HS games, I'm excited and so focused through the whole thing that my head spins when I finally go home and sit for a while. Real close varsity boys drains me for a while.) On a postive note from your post, I learned something about an intentional foul that I was wrong about. I didn't have to blow it in a game. Maybe you can thank your partner for me when you see him??
