The big game... what can one say? It was as huge as I thought it would be, and it was a lot of fun . I missed a couple -- should have whacked one assistant and didn't. There was an evaluator there, and I'm pretty sure I'll get dinged for missing that one. First foul was a little ticky-tack, and it got one coach on my back for about the first 5 minutes. She backed off after that since she was busy yelling at her players who had a terrible first half. We let them play through, tried to see advantage and disadvantage. We had one mechanics screw-up that we managed to both contribute to, one mechanic that I almost blew but partner saved me, and I waved off one last second shot that was a good call, but I didn't signal it well at all. Fans were screaming and being obnoxious the whole time, but that was fine. They didn't get under my skin. In fact, the AD asked me afterward if he should have tossed "that noisy fan" and I really didn't know who he meant. Coaches didn't get into my head. I had one good explanation for each of them, and they didn't like them, but backed off. It was just plain cool. I thought I did really well, I felt confident and calm. We'll see what the eval says.
I can't imagine doing 5th grade tomorrow!
