Why I love this forum...

Last night, GV. Small town in Iowa... which explains some of this.

As we were preparing to take the floor, the AD came in and told us that about half the town was without power. Luckily, there were two different feeds coming into the school and the gym did have power -- sort of. We started the game with only about 60% of the lights in the gym working (of 20, we had 6 on one end, 4 on the other) and only one scoreboard. We discussed it with everyone and they wanted to go, so we pre-gamed how to handle last shots, etc. and went to work.

With about 3 minutes to play in the game, the lights came back on, as did the other scoreboard... and the horn went off. Everybody freezes, but the ball was in the paint. Inappropriate advantage offense, because the defense stopped playing.

Thanks to this thread, I hit my whistle and blew it dead.
