			Last night I was working the championship game of a Christmas tournament---very physical (much more than a typical girls game), very close.  With under a minute left, the visiting coach says to me: "You guys did a great job tonight, no matter what the outcome."  At that point it was a one point game.   
 
(I'd even made a disconcertion call against his bench earlier---one of the girls yelled "Box!" just as the shooter would release the ball.  The second time she did this, I called it.  The coach was incredulous, and the fans of that team started yelling "Box!" loudly on every subsequent FT.)
