This is something I am sure everyone has faced, but it was a first for me tonite. Supposed to have a 3 man crew tonite for Spring League. Well, one guy got thrown out of his womans house, one guy had an urgent meeting. (Of course NO ONE PHONED TO LET ME KNOW) So it was just yours truly. One man, four teams, two games. (80 bucks)
It took me awhile to find a comfortable spot that let me see as much as possible, and really tried to hustle my keester off. (Very difficult after 36 holes of golf I might add). Eventually, I found that calling from the trail (away from the benches) and bleeding over to the middle of the court was the best angle. I called fairly tight, anyone who boxed out got rewarded early with some pushing/on the back calls. That helped keep tempers down.
After the games, I had all the coaches and several parents thank me for the effort and tell me I did a good job controling the games with out controlling the out come. One of the coaches asked if my partners HAD to come back next week. Just thought I'd see what everyone's thoughts were on a 1 man crew. (Other then DON't Do It)
