PSYCHO!!!!!!

[JoeD1]

I just thought I would share the craziest situation I've ever experienced on a basketball court.

Middle school girls, home team has had a substantial lead for most of the game. During the 4th quarter visitors mount a comeback and cut the lead to 2 with 1:31 left on the clock. At that time the home coach calls me to the bench and tells me there is a time limit and I have to call the game.

No one told us about a time limit before the game and the visiting coach did not know about it. Anyway I tell the coach that I'm not going to stop the game, she goes balistic, then the AD comes onto the court. they're both screaming and yelling, running around me like two rabid chihuahuas. I threaten to T up the coach, she threatens to take her team off the court, I say if you take the team off the court your going to forfeit the game. finally the principal comes out to settle them down and explains to us that there is a time limit, and turns out the visiting boys coach knew about the rule. So we go ahead and call the game. Finally everything settles and the boys game goes off without a hitch.

Turns out I was totally wrong and I probably could'nt have handled the situation much worse (that was my one mistake for this year,LOL) my problem with the whole deal was that the rules were not made known before the game (I thought they were trying to pull an Al Gore). I've heard the best way to learn is by making mistakes, I got quite an education tonight.
