Breath Into This Paper Bag ...

Last season I had a young partner who called a technical foul on a coach. For the reasons outlined above, I automatically, and immediately, ran over to him. I'm glad that I did. He was hyperventilating. I walked him out to the center circle, and calmed him down by slowly talking him through everything that had happened, and everything that was going to happen. By the time we shot the free throws he had calmed down. If I hadn't been there to calm him down, I think that the would have fainted.
