Okay, first of all, I don't really believe in karma. But it sure looked real this afternoon...
This was a 7th grade boys B team game. The 8th grade B teams were going to play next, and they were sitting directly behind the bench. With about 40 seconds left in the game, and team A ahead by 20, team B had the ball in their backcourt. The 8th graders behind the bench started saying, "9...8...7...6..." The dribbler panicked, raced down to the three point line and shot, just as the 8th graders were at 1. The clock said 29, though, so the 8th graders were laughing, but they shut up in a hurry when the shot fell! I had intended to stop the game and give a little sportsmanship lecture, but decided they had probably learned their lesson!
