I usually carry a handkerchief with me so i can keep myself kinna dry and cool all in the same time. nothing is worst than walking up to a coach with sweat dripping down your forhead. Im 16 and I feel like im pretty good shape. I mean I call 3+ games on most days mostly 2 of which are back to back. Well we were a few short this weekend so everyones schedules doubled. I went from 5 to 8 games. Saturday I started at 10. Called a 12 and 1. Well I was going to go to my next game at a different gym and meet a "friend" hehe whoom i was going to spend the rest of the day with and enjoy the game and company. So i get there just as the teams are going to the benches after warmup. My director is standing at center court looking for his partner. I kinna shake it off and try to sneak to the seats before he catches me. Well he sees me the second i hit the door and calls me over. So I get ropped into not only calling but R for the game. 3 min pregame and boom - tip off. Well I was pretty beat after the game and had a 10-13 yr girls game right after it with my director. During the girls game on most time out and on some free-throw administration id pull my hanky out and whipe my forehead off. (I sweat very easily sometimes) and well. After the game someone who claims to have called college ball in his younger days and seems to show up at all my full court games said if I wanted to move up to middle school ball next year it'd be best if I lost that habit. Whats the difference between pulling a hanky out to wipe my face off in basketall than a football official drinking water in the middle of the game. I never drink anything on the floor. Maybe a quick shot between quaters and than a bottle at half time. What do you guys think and or do about keeping cool and dry.
