Wisdom from the stands

[Larks]

I'm working a 5th grade tourney game yesterday. This league shoots the FTs from the shorter line so we adjust our 3-sec lane to that line. All game long, I hear 123. Mind you not one hundred twenty three but one-two-three about as fast as you can say it.

"Excuse me Mr. Expert, I guess you are trying to get us to call three seconds?" I thinks.

123

123

This idiot is yelling 123 taking about a half a sec to actually say it.

All the 5th grade teams usually post their center right at this shortened line. All year, all the games I have worked where there is a shorter FT line, we shorten the lane (right or wrong, thats what they told us, so thats what we do)...but since its a tourney I guess all the experts are out in force.

"CMON, HE'S ALL OVER HIM....THATS OVER THE BACK....123"

I love it when an expert attends the game.
