Cool

Today we had our local rec league kick-off jamboree. Because of the Oregon-Oregon State football game, we were pretty short of officials and I was assigned a 6 hour shift of 7th and 8th grade boys games. Each game is 25 minute running clock and they start each half hour so I knew I would have no breaks. I barely had time to gulp some water between games. Oh yeah, there were no timeouts in the games, either.

Before I went to the gym, I weighed myself, just because I was curious how much weight I would lose doing this. When I came home this evening, I found I had lost 9 pounds.

I then ate two chicken rice bowls.

BTW - during one of the games, A1 jumped into a bunch of players while shooting to try and draw the foul. No whistle, and as he was picking himself off the floor, he started whining about the no-call. B1 looked at him and called him a baby. Ordinarily, I might consider a T for taunting, but I thought A1 really was acting like a baby and deserved the comment so I let it go.

I also had a coach start the game pacing the sideline, yelling instructions to his team. We do not recognize a coaching box and all coaches must remain seated. This is clearly stated in the league rules that are given to all coaches. I told him he couldn't be up to coach and that he would have to sit down. He said, "You're kidding!" I just stared at him and said, "Coach, I never kid." He replied, "No, I guess you don't." He sat down the rest of the game.
