Aw, #$#%$*&(@#

PPOE this year: Keeping track of the statistics, handling coaches.

So far: Only one game where I completely lost count of fouls and had to be told to give a 1-and-1. No players fouled out, that I didn't already know about. No surprise last second shots.

Several games where coaches were quiet and polite throughout. Several games where coaches needed to vent a little, but stayed well within the limits. One T on an a*** coach, One T on a head coach (both from same team, but two different games).

Until tonight.

Ugh.

Two games, three hours, one coach tossed, one T'd. I know it's not my fault. It really wasn't my fault. Partner was quick to point out all the crap we'd been dealing with all night. But I still feel like a failure. Oh, well. I guess that's life. I'm done for the season now, right?

And the statistics-awareness tonight was terrific!
