Delay to the nth degree

[Mark Padgett]

News flash from Fox television network:

The title of the quiz show, "Are You Smarter Than Billy Packer?", originally named "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" has now officially been changed to "Are You Smarter Than Ralph?" We expect everyone will win, even unborn children and vegetables.

Bet you don't call NINE technicals again. Bet when this team takes the court again you won't even call TWO. You have learned whether you want to admit it or not.

Bet I call as many as they commit. It could be nine, it could be two, it could be zero. And what I have learned is the value of your opinion. In fact, there's even a mechanic for it -

Either that or the kids will learn. Whether you want to admit it or not!

Seriously? "Opportunities to not call a T?" That's how you see unsporting behavior? There's a word for that, but Juulie won't let me use it.

Oooh, unsporting behavior from 11-12 year old REC kids who don't have the talent to play competitive ball. Real eggregious.

So you would call NINE technicals in a youth REC game of 11-12 year olds? yeah - that'll teach em! Go back to hickville KS. Are you at the local "libary" on the local magic box?

Just because the events transpired in a REC league does not insinuate that competition ceases to exist. The REC league I work on Sunday afternoonos is known as one of the most competitive REC leagues in the state, (Grades 4 - 6). The teams in this league play better than most junior high school teams, at least in the area.

Get off your high horse. Take your ego down a few notches.

No I am actually stating that in a rec league, by definition, the talent level is far less and competencies are far less than in an equal aged competitive league. And as such, additional tolerences should be in play.
