They won, but it was a very cold, quiet ride home in that car......thankfully, it was a short ride.  |
Your story was sooo funny to me because I had a VERY similar situation! When my daughter was about 12 or 13 one of ref's didn't show and since I was there and had a whistle...everything went fine until my daughter gets a steal, goes in for the layup but the defender beats her down the court and is waiting for her, easy, I call a charge, my daughter slams the ball down, I call a T, and she goes to the bench crying. I don't think she talked to me for a week!
She's 20 and still brings it up every now and then!!
