Watched a holiday tourney last week. Two things that made the crowds go crazy! Wish you all could have seen them.

1. Girls game. Home team runs a slow down offense (all teams in this school do.) 2nd quarter guard puts the ball on her hip and holds it for 7 minutes. Vistors never come out of a zone to guard. They held the ball for the last shot and got a back door lay up. I loved the questions? Is that legal? Can they do that?

2. Boys game. 3rd quarter. Loose ball on floor. Home 44 comes sliding in, grabs the ball and slides about 4 - 6 feet -- feet first. Never rolls, twists, or tries to get up. When he stops he passes the ball to another player and gets up and runs down court. Home HC and whole visitors side wants a travel. I love it. They turn to me. That has to be a travel? I chose not to try to explain travelling in that atmosphere to people who had already made up their minds about the call. Some of them might have had sharp objects in their pockets or purses. I just said that from my angle I couldn't see if he had possession or not and the guy was right there to see the play.
