Oldtimer Men's Rec League

[mick]

Playoff semifinals; Loser goes home. 2nd quarter
I'm Lead on endline; good partner is Trail.

A1 dribbles over division line and B1 weakly attempts to get legal guarding position. At 8" away, A1 forearms B1, big collision; Trail (behind) blows whistle.
A1 lightly tosses ball at B1. B1 half tosses ball at A1. (Both 42 year-olds are getting warmed up.)
I blow whistle and whack B1. He's mouthing about the other guy (A1) throwing the ball at him.
I told him I only saw his (B1) toss. He keeps yacking and I tell him, "Take it easy, stay in the game."
Because of the ruckus, partner comes to me and says, we should "T" A1 for thowing the ball at B1. I said go ahead, I didn't see a "T" on A1. Whacked A1.

Double "T"; line 'em U.P. for throwin.
Wait..., partner called a block. I saw PC, he said he only heard about it; didn't see it.
Hmmm. Okay.
We shoot; we throw it in.
We continue.

Only saw one drop of blood.
One more next week.
