To get FR/JV games? I may need to hook this kid up with some ADs. Annoys me they'd use people in this way - guys that are new who we need ti keep around.

Now, a few days off.
I posted this in the wrong thread. This post had to do with my varsity reserve game this morning. I was in the car after a shower 75 minutes after the opening tip.

They put 5 minutes on the clock at halftime. Went to our locker room to get a drink and pack my jacket and promptly forgot the shortened halftime. Someone had to come get us. Clearly, my internal clock is set for 10 minutes.

Last night I worked with a usual partner who just texted me to tell me his partner today called the only foul of the first quarter with 4.8 seconds left.
