Someone gave you 6 games to do in one setting and you think it makes you look bad to not switch on fouls? Really?

But then again, he's certified and I'm not, so what do I know. Maybe that's what you get during summer AAU ball.

You are working 6 games in a row, yeah!!!! Be glad he even ran.

Peace
