I hear a bit of coaching from the bench to the kid about his attitude. Aside from seeing he came back in the game, I never noticed he was back out there. One big gold star to that coach!

Had one last weekend like this; JVB. Team from out of town (up near tref's and toren's area) just getting killed every game. A1 bringing the ball up, gets called for a travel as he picks up his dribble in pressure near the division line. He then slams the ball so that it bounces toward his basket (going up to about 10-15 feet high on the first bounce).
My partner started to get his attention (he was about to give him a T) but the coach was on the court chewing him out and a sub was at the table for him. Partner let it slide as the coach was dealing with it. A1 came up to us later during an injury stoppage and apologized, adding "I'm benched." He didn't play the rest of that game.
