I enjoy watching my friends working state tournament games. I usually arrive early to get a seat away from crowd, and don't go into the locker room thus interrupting their pregame. When they come out onto the floor I always greet them and tell them that I've got a list of the pregame dunkers. I get a lot of funny replies and a few fingers, and it's usually not the finger that tells me we have less than one minute left in the period.

One of not so numerous problems of officiating in either AAU or YBOA Girls' Nationals was younger brothers wanting to shoot around at half time. I would ask the boys if they shaved their legs every day. The answer was always a resounding NO! I would tell them that the only people that could shoot around were those that shaved their legs every day. That kept them off the court.

Here in Connecticut we call these "gym rats". They come out of the woodwork any time the court is free.
