Game fee and a tip

Exactly. Oh, and don't forget (the remote possibility of it hitting) either basket. The ball was tipped by the jumpers, but then it hit the floor. At that point all restrictions on the jumpers ended and they were as eligible as any other player to grab it.

Sadly the coach was talking about his salary. If he were talking mine, I'd have been getting sworn statements from witnesses!

In the end, my partner and I decided it really would serve no useful purpose to bring it up after the half. I was scheduled to see them again later in the week and I figured I'd tell him before that game that I had double-checked and I was right. If he chose to bring up the wager, I'd offer to go double-or-nothing so that I could at least buy lunch with my winnings.

But I got moved off that game (to a BJV/V DH) and now I won't see him until next year. Oh well.
