Since I have not been able to get to the gym as much as I had hoped, my expanding waistline told my brain (such as it is) to work some games, even though I am in "retirement mode". Juulie was kind enough to schedule me for three games the day after tomorrow. These are girls HS summer league and are at the HS gym right near my house.
Can someone refresh my memory on the mechanic for an ejection, please? That's the only one I think I'll need. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry too much. I am sure the sight, sounds and smell of a Howler monkey will trigger your memory when the time comes.

I got to the gym last night and found out I had 3 games with a regulation high school clock. Well, I often want to work on some part of my game and Game Management went right to the top of the list when I found this out. Calling fouls that fit and avoiding calls that interrupt the game. First game was smooth, second game was choppy and the third game went smooth after I excused a young man for the evening. My partner gave him a T for something like "what the ____ did you call that for", I gave him his second for him telling us to lick the family jewels and I gave the bench another T for his parting remarks as he went out the door with mommy. She had some words for her son's coach. It turns out that this coach is not a parent favorite. He has twins that play on the team and he was making a jesture to one of them after a turnover. A parent accross the floor was yelling at him for singling out a player. He yells back that it is his son and this goes on for the last two minutes of the game. His team played better after the kid was sent home but they still got clobbered. Good stuff, funny stuff.

Well - I worked the games last night and, as I had hoped, the last game of the three was a forfeit, but I got paid anyway.
 The first game went pretty smooth. It was close all the way until one team went on a little streak at the end and won by five. The second game was a 30 point blow-out. As you might expect, the losing coach tried to blame it all on us. He complained about his point guards getting "cut off" when they tried to bring the ball over mid-court. DUH! That's the idea, isn't it? Once, he said to me, "If that's not a foul, I don't know what is." I told him it wasn't a foul, and that I was surprised he didn't know what a foul was. He didn't get it. Finally, my partner gave him a T and told him he was seat belted the rest of the game. When the game was over, a bunch of parents from his team cornered him and made him come over to us and apologize. I guess they realized their girls were just outplayed and wanted their coach to realize it too. At least, that's what one of the dads told me later. He said they were disappointed in that coach all summer and wouldn't keep him on for next year. It was kind of refreshing to hear that.

As for the parents, that's pretty amazing. Most aren't like that in my experience. Mine are of the opinion that I should argue more, so they try to help me out
