PS - Friday night I had a great HS boys game. Home team got down 14-0 and 18-4 at the end of the first quarter. Visiting team scored only 16 points in the last three quarters and the home team came back to win 42-34. Low scoring, but one of the best comebacks I've ever seen.

Last year I coached a game where we trailed 12-0, 14-2, and 17-7 at the end of the first and won, 34-32. HS varsity girls.

For those of you out there wondering what the inside joke is between Juulie and me about "ABC", here's an explanation.

The guy's name begins with the letter "C". Whenever you ask someone around here to request a partner they say, "Anybody But C....", hence the nickname for him of "ABC".

Lest anyone get the wrong idea, the "C" is NOT me.

When I read these references to other officials, many of them not too favorable, some using initials, some posted by people using what I assume are their real names, it brings a question to mind. Has anyone here ever been approached by someone, correctly or not, who said, "I read what you wrote about me on that message board yesterday."

The specific person, who Mark and I are talking about, wouldn't be caught dead reading this board. "He doesn't need it." I can't think of any other specific person that I've referred to that would have been able to identify him/her self. In fact a lot of times, I avoid any tell-tale descriptions because my commissioner reads this board, and the time or two I've been specific he caught the reference and said something to me about it.

I'm not sure what others' experience has been.
