What can you do?

What did you learn - both good and bad?

We call so many games that if we learn just 1 thing from each game (learn 1 good thing and learn 1 bad) by the end of the season we ought to be pretty good.

Did you have a post game discussion and focus on the specifics of what you did good and bad? The block/charge situation you mentioned is probably more due to a lack of officiating maturity than anything else. Good that he got the call "right" but bad with the mechanics and lack of communication between you two. Had one the other night where we started off in the wrong direction, immediate backcourt and everybody yelling at us trying to get us straightened out but we just ignored - make sure of the basics, get the table to feel more comfortable in hitting the horn, be more aware of surroundings, and thank goodness we finally did get it right when we did.

Unfortunately, there are games like yours out there every week; key is to miss as many as possible. But when your time comes due, suffer through and try to learn both good and bad and at least salvage something. Hang in there.
