Funny Moment

[Mbilica]

It was funny because you respect the officials and understand the avocation. You realize that the official made a simple mistake and doesn't have it out for your team. You also don't use criticism of the officials to "fire up" your team. I wish more coaches were like you.

As for not having the whistle in the mouth, that is understandable. It is food for thought. I would like to think that it wouldn't happen to me, but I realize these things happen.

I have had it happen a couple of times. I yelled FOUL each time and stopped play.

It's happened to me more on the football field, where we don't always have the whistle in the mouth. You go to pull it up to your mouth, and it slips out of your hand.

Better way late than letting something go you know you needed to get.

I've had it happen, but that's why now when I talk to players I do it with the whistle in my hand right up near my mouth.

Had something like this happen today and it reminded me immediately of this thread.

Working trail frontcourt, ball OOB, I go to put air in the whistle, and.....spit the whole darn thing out of my mouth without making a peep. So, channeling BNR, I yell "Whistle, whistle, whistle!"

Relatively quiet gym, so the timer picked it up and got the clocked stopped within a second. I owe her one.

That was a first for me.
