I'm not so sure that's much of a bargain.

How about three seconds to a better three seconds? Here you go: Don't call three seconds unless the kid is lying down and asleep in the lane.

And even then, if there's a cute cheerleader anywhere in the gym, allow yourself to be distracted and 'lose your count.'

Ha Ha... good point. Actually if I recall correctly, I don't think I had a 3-seconds call this year -- well, maybe 1, just to be safe.

Gaps? Or gaffes?
Gaffes would work too. Gap was used to show that something was missing - such as knowing which word to use.

My favorite response:

Coach: Three seconds, Ref.

Ref: If he doesn't have a lounge chair and suntan lotion, I'm not calling it.

I have enjoyed the DVDs much more than the CDs. The CDs look like they're "burned" rather than stamped or pressed or whatever it is they do with normal mass-produced CDs. So I have a hard time playing the CDs in my car.


Do the DVDs and videos just show the person talking or is there something "extra' you don't get with the CD?
It depends on the DVD. Most of these are recordings of talks given at camps, it looks like. Sometimes the DVD will show some Powerpoint slides or chalkboard drawings that you can't get on the CD. Dave Libby's three-whistle DVD takes you out onto the court and shows some stuff. But some are just talk talk talk, and thus are equivalent to the CD.

Good article! I had exactly the same thing happen to me, but it happened about 3 years into my budding career. I guess the good thing was it happened during a rec league game in the summer, so I didn't have to make that decision about whether to do the next game or not. And, in my case, I was backpedaling and tripped over the center line. (Just goes to show that painted lines have a thickness!!) I didn't think anything of it as well, and even did the following game that evening. I really noticed the pain in the middle of the night and had it checked out the next morning. Needless to say, lesson learned. In your case, you're already three years ahead of me!
