I've been enjoying summer ball overall, and mostly I've been getting better games, but tonight -- yech!

It wasn't girls, either. The girls games have been more fun this year, since I am assigning, I picked out the best ones for myself, and also have had great partners.

But tonight was boys, with attitude. Not the sort of attitude that is well coached, but the attitude that is out of control. We managed it, but just barely.

The sad part is that with any coaching at all, these guys could all be great players, lots of speed and grace and great shooting, when they weren't busy proving what victims they were.

And it wasn't just the inner city kids that were victims. Everyone on the floor was. Black, white, rich, poor, skilled and green. They all had a chip on their shoulder.

Sheesh, what an evening!

I think we have all been there one time or another.
