12 yo rec game?

I would have humilated him. Hand him my shirt, hand him the whistle, smile and tell him it's time to find out what he can do. Then I would have sat down next to him to see what happens next. C'mon big guy, get in there...you seem to know how to do this...maybe I can pick something up watching you...

I haven't worked solo in a long time but I usually went free throw line to free throw line. Tell the players and coaches before hand you're gonna miss stuff so don't wait for a whistle and you really don't want to hear any complaining.
