Great Post dahoopref,
I would've never thought of rewriting that scene for basketball. Maybe if all those parents who bash officials whether table or floor read this our game would be more civilized.As a scorekeeper I have to shut up regardless of how bad the officiating is.
For those of you who will defend the CBS Studio crew's position remember one thing:They have the luxury of looking at this play on instant replay. I doubt they would call that at game speed.

that was great,
See if you can take the final scene from Scent of a Women and do the same thing with Al Pachino's character.

Thumbs up

I don't think dahoopref has too much time on her/his hands ... I think s/he just uses her/his available time more creatively than this rest of us.

Thanks for posting it.

Big Jake

I'd like to see John Wayne head an officiating crew.

James: Those guys are yelling at us again.
Michael: Yeah, all the coaches on the visiting bench. Father, I think we
should give them another warning.

Big Jake: Well, that would be one way to handle this, but I have another
idea. Kill 'em, Sam. Take the dog with you. Go with him, dog.

or......

Woodrow: I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it.

Coach: Hey, wait a minute. Where's he going?

Gus: He's going to pick out a tree to hang you from.
