Twenty technicals in one game - all for delay of game!

[Mark Padgett]

Just finished working the annual game between Santa's elves and his reindeer. Although I didn't have any Ts against the elves for hanging on the rim, I did call twenty technicals on the reindeer for delay of game. Many times when they were guarding the inbounder, their antlers extended over the boundary.

I also had to toss Santa for yelling "HO" at me. I don't take that from anybody. Mrs. Claus finished the game for him. Despite the technicals, the reindeer won 72-0. It seems the elves don't have the strength to make the ball reach the basket. Dasher was high scorer but Blitzen led the team in rebounds.

One thing that really impressed me - Rudolph can really get up there!

They play by NF (Noel Federation) rules.

Sorry about all the Ts, Ralph. I'll work on that for next year. Maybe we can work the April Fools Day game together.

Oh yeah - Mrs. Claus really has nice cookies!
