Packed house for a boys varsity game...I step into center circle and toss ball up for opening tip...centers jump up and both hit ball at exact same time, causing the visiting center to lose his balance...he flails out with his legs, and kicks me right in the - well, you get the picture...game is off and running, so I can't exactly do anything but try to stagger around for the first few minutes...about 2 min. in, the home coach asks for time-out, and I hit whistle and turn to him with the "Whatcha got Coach, full or 30?"...his response was "Which one do you need? I'm calling this for you." I thanked him, reported the full, and went out into the hallway for the 60 seconds...got a standing ovation when I came back in...
