Act of God

[JCrow]

This happened to me last night in a JV Girl's Game. A1 makes a steal at the division line and has a clear path to her basket. Somebody brought a German Sheppard to the Game? The dog rushes out of the stands and nips the girl from behind after she started her shooting motion. The layup goes in and I blow my whistle. I stop the Game and yell into the stands,

"Who owns the damn dog?"

A mother from B's Team claims ownership so I award A1 two free throws. B's Coach goes nuts. By this time, I'm pretty hot so I tell him,

"It's a Flagrant on the dog for biting. It's in the Book."

The Coach is irrate and says it was an "Act of God".

I blow the whistle again and yell,

"Then God should have put the dog in a Uniform...that's another Technical for violation of Rule 3.4.1."

About then I hear the B Team Mother yell,

"Kill, Heinzie! Kill."

I ran out through the Fire Escape Doors and now my Assigner only wants to pay me for 1/2 the game.

What would YOU do?
