Typical basketball tournament factory. You know, courts
side by side, whistles everywhere, balls flying randomly
across the floor. The court I'm on the only place for
fans to sit is on each endline. So first half, the fans
on each side are complaining about the same thing: you
missed a travel, he never touched him, let 'em play,
illegal screen, call the 3 seconds...My self-esteem is
taking a beating, I can't seem to do anything right!
But they must be right 'cause they're all yelling the
same thing. OK, second half starts and the fans are
suddenly off my back! No more cat-calls, nothing!
Play moves to other end & the same thing, they're all
having fun & enjoying the game. And now, my foul calls
are being greeted by loud approval! But just when I thought
I had it figured out, both sides start screaming again!
Except now, they're all yelling about new things. That's a
foul! He mugged him! Hand check! Someone's gonna get hurt
out there! Take control! At one point I called a travel,
something they were screaming for in the first half, and
instead of warm congratulations they seemed very upset!
Jeez, I just can't figure this stuff out, there must be
someway to keep these fans happy!
