Man - you should see the reaction I get. The coach starts yelling at the player to get the ball and the player runs after it like he just had his girlfriend tell him her parents were away for the weekend.

BTW - they usually do this only once, then they get the message.

Mark, maybe it's a regional thing, but why would a teenage boy run after a basketball when his gf just told him they have the run of her house for the weekend?
