There is a ref in our area who I got my first games from years back, and I had him as my partner my fourth or fifth date and was really intimidated.

We had a wild game in a wild gym at a wild school and during a timeout he came over to me and stood directly in front of me poking my chest reminding me of a mechanic or something. We come out of the time out, he inbounds the ball as I go to grab my whistle.........................gawn. He is soiling himself laughing so hard. pretty funny and he's good at it too.
