Two years ago, JVG game. Visiting team has the ball with about a minute left in the half. They go through a sequence of about 3 or 4 offensive rebounds, and a home team Dad yells "Three seconds!" Right after he yelled it, a home team girl got the rebound, turned, and launched a very short full court shot attempt with about 50 seconds left in the half.

The other parents were giving dad a hard time the rest of the game.

A few years ago working an early season JVB game. V1 catches the ball off balance, with his feet in the air, and proceeds to land on his can. I call the travel. V coach, who had previously taken both boys and girls teams to state finals at the varsity level, tells me (I'm on the endline near his bench) that the butt cheek is the pivot. I laughed (seriously thought he was joking), and he said, "I'm serious, the cheek becomes the pivot." I later found out he was an official for a time.
