funny stuff

Boys 8th grade game. I was pretty new to officiating and my partner told me to toss the ball and he would take the U. I blew my whistle, stepped in the circle, threw the ball nice and straight, and the ball was tipped right back to me. No one made any move to go to the ball so I caught it and made an outlet pass to my partner who drove to the hoop for a layup. The whole gym gave a roar. I told my partner to make sure the scorer gave me the assist in the book. Probably seemed more funny at the time it happened than now.
