I was working a JV game the other night with a partner I have worked with many times in the past. Anyway at the 12 min mark he goes to check the book, I wait at the Division line until the pre game and go over. After the pre game I ask my partner what took so long on the books, he replied that he recommended they put the members numbers in numerical order and they liked the idea, thought nothing more of it as I understand this. At half time the Varsity coach comes over to us and looks at me and says "gentlemen I just wanted you to know that it is not a rule that the players #'s have to be in numerical order, just a recommendation, I just looked it up." My partner and I look at each other a little perplexed at what his mission was, and how did the information get from the table or coach to him when he was not even close at any time. We look back at him and I state we realize this, his reaction was "well I just wanted you to know this because I am not going to do this, I like to put my starters at the top", My reaction, fine Coach I recommend that you recommend that recommendation to the next crew, because we are not the crew working your game. In the end he laughed and went on with his business.
But you know, I am never ceased to be amazed every day by people......
