Pretty much got the rules down. I've been doing this for over 25 years now. Not much surprises me anymore. I can think my way through any situation based on fundamentals. I call a decent game. May miss a few but I don't have phantom BS calls either, for the most part.

One of the quotes he used was, "This is your game and the coaches and players are only there to F it up."

He went on to say that the boys D1 final was a good example. The crew that worked it were not the best play callers but they were the most respected on the court.

Can't wait to let loose. I pitty the poor 6th graders at the Y next week.

j/k
