Speaking of tesitcle fouls...
I had a JV boys tournament game a few months ago. A1 leaped to save a ball from going out of bounds, which he did, but the throw was a bulls-eye laser right to B2's crotch. The poor kid goes down in a heap, and the ball slowly rolls out of bounds (and I'm talking about the basketball), so not only does Team B get some unnecessary pain, Team A gets the ball back.
I beckon Team B's coach, who's trying to hide a smile, and he escorts the young lad to the bench. I check on B2 ten minutes later, and says he'll be okay.
"It could be worse," I reply. "(The varsity coach) could be here, and you'd never hear the end of it!" The kid agreed.
A week later, I saw that varsity coach, and asked him if had heard about that play in question.
"Heard about it? His dad taped the game, and watches it ten times a day!"
