We played it outside, inside or anywhere we could get a game going. I could mess you up on some tether ball. ;)

Great game when I was a kid.
They had discovered geometrical squares back then?

The girls played tether ball inside at my school; just like they played 6-on-6 basketball.

On thing that we've added recently to the coaches greeting is "Coach, can you have a manager ready to take care of any wet spots on the floor if we run into that situation? It'll hope us keep the game moving."

I hate it when they toss me a towel. From a liability standpoint, I don't want to be responsible for getting moisture off the floor. I'm not going there.

I kinda like this...

but, what do you do now when they throw you the towel?
*wipe the floor
*refuse to wipe the floor
*go looking for a manager to wipe the floor
*ask coach if he remembers prior conversation...and to get mng. to wipe floor
*other

Really? You would do that Rocky?

I generally have a pretty good rapport with coaches...I don't think this would fit with my game management style...but, to each his own.

I am probably one of the youngest people here outside of TJ. If we are talking about JR's age, well I am suprised they had indoor schools at that time. :D

Peace

I use this a lot when I have a coach for the first time. Most of them lie in response and say "Oh, you don't have to worry about that, I never yell". :rolleyes:

IIRC, you and I are around the same age as well.

Why do guys feel compelled to tell the coaches and players what they should already know? I would agree the timeout situation might have been an issue 3 or 4 years ago when the rules allowed the coach to call a timeout, but now they know that rule and if they do not so be it. The same goes for the coaching box. They know the rule, they either listen to you or they suffer the consequences. If our state never instituted a sportsmanship talk, I would only ask for captains and walk away.

Peace

That depends on what age you are claiming to be. ;)

No way would I do that...just being a smart-a$$.

We actually talked about this last night at our final association meeting of the season. The question about your team being properly equipped and ready to play is important. If that question is asked, you have now put the onus on the coach to make sure the players are properly dressed particularly since we have become fashion police.

However, that being said, I had a game this year where, when a kid took his warmups off to start the game---the nimrod had an illegal undershirt. We made the coach replace him. And before everyone gets their panties twisted, it was confirmed last night that the OHSAA does not want a T charged for a different starter. THe rationale being that the player was mandated to leave the lineup by the referee, not the coach.

So, if you don't ask them that question is your association saying the "proper equipment" rules no longer apply?

The onus (oweness) is already on the players and coaches whether or not we ask them the question.
