In this particular game, home was ahead by 25 or 30 at the half. As the second half began, the home coach wasn't even watching. She was busy doing something on the clipboard, and everyone line up incorrectly. Visitor pulled it off perfectly, and fortunately, the player chosen for the fast break made the layup. It was the only good play they had the whole game. Home coach was so furious, those players sat out the rest of the game. I just laughed and laughed and laughed.
Nice! Did they tip off the refs that this was their stragedy? Because I have often started the half going in the wrong direction, it is something I check for.

First - it was only a "tragedy" for the home team. Second, substitute "life" for "the half" and your statement sounds as if it really pertains to you.

Oh yeah, I put the other misspelled words in blue for you, just to help.

Damn, can't be mad, when you're right, you're right. Good catches, I will go back and correct.
