Well that's a little odd

Had a situation tonight not covered in the case book. Hear a commotion from the fans and look on the court and a black cat is attempting to run across the floor. If you've never seen a cat trying to run on a gym floor it is hilarious look like a drunk monkey. No technical fouls was issued on the cat

Was it Schrodenger's (sp?) cat?

This can be completely prevented by a good pregame.

At least, that's what I've read here.

That is the one thing I cover in my pregame before all else. As a result, I've never had it happen.

Was the cat listed in the official scorebook? Sounds like it must have been a member of the visiting team.

Nobody told the captains in the pregame that the court is the black line all the way around. He didn't realize he was on the court, more than likely.
